Choose us to pump out your home’s septic tank.
When wastewater leaves your home and reaches your septic tank, it settles into different layers. On the top is the effluent, in the middle is the wastewater, and at the bottom are the solids. While the top two layers will eventually make their way out to the drain field for treatment, the solid waste at the bottom won’t budge unless manually removed.
Septic tank pumping creates more room in your septic tank by removing this bottom layer of waste and solids. While you can typically go quite a while without needing to pump your septic tank, going too long without this service can cause septic backups and in extreme cases, complete septic system failure. Don’t put your system at risk — make septic tank pumping a priority.

FAQs About Septic Tank Pumping
Pumping your septic tank on schedule can help protect your system from serious, costly problems. These FAQs will help you better understand how the process works and why it matters.
Hidden
Why do I need to have my septic tank pumped?
Over time, solids collect at the bottom of the tank and do not break down naturally. If this layer isn’t removed, it can lead to blockages, backups, and potentially complete septic system failure. Pumping clears out the tank to prevent these issues.
How often should I schedule septic tank pumping?
Most residential septic tanks need to be pumped every three to five years. However, this can vary depending on household size, water usage, and tank capacity. We can help you determine the best schedule for your system.
What happens during the septic tank pumping process?
Our team uses specialized equipment to remove the settled solids and sludge from the bottom of your tank. We also monitor the tank’s condition and can inform you of any concerns we notice during service.
Can pumping help avoid septic emergencies?
Yes. Regular pumping is one of the most effective ways to prevent messy backups and avoid emergency service calls. It also helps protect the lifespan of your system and drain field.
Will I need to be home when the tank is pumped?
As long as we have clear access to the tank and any gates are unlocked, you don’t need to be present. We’ll handle the pumping process and leave everything clean and secure.
