About this service
Pumping is the process of removing the accumulated sludge and scum from your tank using a vacuum truck. This prevents solids from escaping into your drain field and causing a permanent blockage. Most households need this service every three to five years depending on usage and tank size. 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.
