Septic Pumping FAQ

Common questions about septic tank pumping service

Most residential septic tanks need pumping every 3-5 years. This varies based on tank size, household size, water usage, and whether you have a garbage disposal. We can assess your specific needs during service.

All waste is transported to licensed treatment facilities for proper processing and disposal. We never dump waste in unauthorized locations and comply with all environmental regulations.

Most residential pumping jobs take 1-2 hours, depending on tank size, access, and current fill level. We'll give you a time estimate when scheduling your service.

We take great care to protect your property. Our trucks have rubber hoses and we use ground protection when necessary. Any disturbed areas are restored to their original condition.

We can locate buried tanks using electronic detection equipment. If lids need to be exposed, we carefully dig down to access them, then refill and restore the area afterward.

While it's helpful to have someone available, you don't need to be present for the entire service. We can coordinate access and provide updates on our progress and completion.
