FAQ
Septic Tank Pumping questions
How often should I pump?
Most households should pump every 3 to 5 years. Larger families, smaller tanks and garbage disposals all shorten that interval.
Do I need to be home?
Not always. As long as we can reach the tank and know where it is, we can often do the work while you're away. We'll confirm when you book.
Will it mess up my yard?
We dig only what's needed to reach the lid and put the soil back when we're done. Installing a riser makes future pumpings quicker and cleaner.
