About this service
A septic pump service focuses on the mechanical components of your system, specifically the effluent pump that moves wastewater from the tank to the drain field. This is necessary if you have a pump-to-gravity or mound system and the alarm panel sounds or the pump stops running. Technicians test the electrical float switches and the motor to ensure water isn't backing up into your home. It is a critical service for homes where the drain field is at a higher elevation than the tank.
Summer often means more houseguests and increased water usage, which puts extra demand on your septic tank. With more showers and laundry loads, it is easier for a tank to reach capacity. If you have guests coming over, consider a pump-out beforehand to avoid an inconvenient backup during your family gatherings.
