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

Septic treatments are additives designed to introduce beneficial bacteria or enzymes into your system. They aim to help break down the solid waste and grease that naturally accumulate in the tank. While some homeowners use these as part of their routine maintenance, they are not a replacement for regular pumping. If you choose to use treatments, they can assist in keeping the biological process active, but they won't clear out the permanent sludge that eventually needs professional removal.

How does a septic tank work in Memphis homes?

The liquid effluent then flows to the drain field for further purification. We can explain your system in detail.
