SEPTIC TANK PUMPING

Reasons for pumping your septic tank...

• Provides the longest possible lifespan of the septic system
• Keeps the solid levels inside the tank at a minimum 
• Avoids some costly repairs in the future

Septic tanks come in a variety of sizes depending on the size of the home.   All septic tanks have at least 2 compartments.  Some older tanks have 3 compartments.  We always pump all compartments and rinse the tank.  We check the basic functioning of the system and make the homeowner aware of any safety issues or repairs that are necessary or that could become necessary in the future.  

Our trucks are equipped with 200' of hose.  We don't always need to be right at the tank in order to pump it out.  We do have longer hoses available if necessary.

We do need to have water available in order to pump the tank and rinse both the tank and our hoses when done.

Step 1

Locate septic tank lids and uncover the tank

Step 2

Pump out all septic and solids from inside tank ( The only exception to this is when there are large amounts of debris, dirt or roots in the tank. These usually need to be removed by hand at an additional charge.)

Step 3

Rinse down the inside walls of tank and pump out the whatever is left

Step 4

Evaluate the current condition of septic tank and check for safety and functioning concerns.  Inform homeowner or representative of any items that do need or could need attention in the future.

Step 5

Put the lids back in place and cover the tank and make the homeowner aware of any safety issues or maintenance tips and answer any questions they might have.
