CALL & SCHEDULE

You call us, we coordinate the appointment with our pumping partner and confirm the date.

LOCATE THE TANK

If the tank lid isn't exposed, we locate and uncover it so the pumper can access it.

PUMP THE TANK

Our partner pumps out the solids and liquids, removing everything down to the bottom.

INSPECT THE TANK

While the tank is open, we check for cracks, baffle damage, and signs of wear.

ASSESS & REPORT

If anything looks off, we document it and give you repair options with pricing.

CLOSE UP & ADVISE

We secure the lid, note the pump date for your records, and recommend when to schedule the next one.

Warning Signs

When to Call

Not every slow drain needs a camera, but if the problem keeps coming back or you're dealing with something the snake can't fix, an inspection tells you why. These are the most common reasons homeowners call us for a camera job.

Maintenance FAQ

Pumping Questions

Here are the questions homeowners ask most about septic pumping and maintenance.

  • How often should I pump my septic tank?

    Every 3 to 5 years for most homes, though larger households or smaller tanks may need it more often.

  • What happens if I don't pump it?

    Solids build up and can clog the leach field, leading to expensive repairs or full system replacement.

  • How long does pumping take?

    Usually about 30 to 60 minutes once the pumper is on site.

  • Will you tell me if something's wrong?

    Yes. If the pumper finds damage or wear, we assess it and give you repair options.

  • Do I need to be home?

    It helps, but as long as we have access to the tank, we can coordinate without you being there.
