About this service
Emptying a septic tank involves using a specialized vacuum pump to remove the sludge and floating scum that fills the tank. You should have this done every few years, depending on your household size and water usage, to ensure solids don't push into your drain field. Ignoring this leads to sewage backups in your home or total system failure. We use heavy-duty equipment to ensure the tank is fully cleared. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
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.
