The pros who service Waterbury septic tanks use specialized vacuum trucks. These trucks have a large tank to hold the pumped waste. They also carry hoses that are long enough to reach your septic tank access point. The truck's pump creates suction to draw the contents out efficiently. This process is standard for all septic tank pumping services.
