What septic pumping is

Every septic tank fills with solids over time. Pumping removes that buildup before it can clog the system or back up into your home. It is the single most important thing you can do to keep a septic system healthy, and it is far cheaper than fixing a drain field that failed because the tank was never serviced.

How often should you pump?

For most households, every 3 to 5 years is right, depending on tank size and how many people use the system. Bigger families and smaller tanks need it sooner. If you are not sure when yours was last done, we can take a look and tell you where it stands.

What is included

  • Locating and uncovering the tank lid, even if it is buried
  • Pumping the tank fully, not just skimming the top
  • A look at the baffles and tank condition while we are in there
  • Straight talk on what we saw and when to schedule next

We work on residential and commercial tanks, and we are happy to set up a regular schedule so you never have to remember the date.

Septic pumping questions

How often should a septic tank be pumped?
Most households need pumping every 3 to 5 years, depending on tank size and how many people use the system. We can check yours and tell you where it stands.
Can you pump my tank if I do not know where it is?
Yes. Locating buried tanks is something we do regularly, including on homes people just bought. We will find it, access it, and pump it.
Do you pump commercial septic tanks?
We do. We handle residential and commercial tanks, and can set up a regular pumping schedule for a property.
What happens if I wait too long to pump?
A tank that is overdue can back up into the house or push solids into the drain field, which is the expensive part to repair. Pumping on schedule is the cheap insurance.
