What affects the price
The final bill for septic work depends on a few specific variables. First, the size of your tank and the total volume of waste removal play a role. We also look at the accessibility of your tank lids; if they are buried deep underground or hidden under landscaping, extra labor is required to reach them. The distance from our truck to the tank also impacts the setup time. Every property has unique plumbing needs, and exact pricing is confirmed free on the call.
About this service
Cleaning, or pumping, is the process of removing the layer of solids and sludge that accumulates at the bottom of your tank over time. We recommend this service every few years to keep your system flowing properly and prevent solids from clogging your drain field. If you notice toilets flushing slowly or water pooling in your yard, it is likely time to schedule a cleaning.
