How does Mira Mesa's climate affect this service?
Mira Mesa is essentially 100% city sewer, the 1980s-90s master-plan tract development was built with full municipal sewer infrastructure. The Mira Mesa Boulevard commercial corridor and the surrounding residential tracts are all on municipal sewer. Most Mira Mesa calls are sewer line issues, not septic.. Central San Diego cleanings are rare but happen for sale prep on the legacy parcels still on septic.
How is a cleaning different from a pump?
A pump empties the liquid and most of the solids, usually 80-90% of the volume, and is the right move every 3-5 years. A cleaning evacuates 100%, washes the walls, and resets the tank. A pump is routine maintenance; a cleaning is restart, sale prep, or post-contamination work.
Will a cleaning slow down the system?
Slightly, for 2-4 weeks. The bacterial colony that breaks down solids takes time to rebuild after a full evacuation. We add a starter biological additive at the end of the cleaning to speed restart. After about a month, the system is back to full performance.
