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.

A septic tank works by separating solid waste from liquid wastewater. Solids settle to the bottom as sludge, and lighter materials like grease float to the top as scum. The liquid effluent then flows out to the drain field for further treatment in the soil. Call us for a free estimate on maintenance.
