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.

Summer is the season for heavy house guests and more laundry, which means more water usage. Your septic tank works harder when your home is full.

Frequently asked in Virginia Beach

What is the purpose of a septic tank?

A septic tank is a crucial part of an on-site sewage treatment system. Its main purpose is to collect wastewater from your home or business. Inside, solids separate from the liquid, with solids settling to the bottom as sludge and lighter materials floating to the top as scum. Bacteria then work to break down some of the waste.
