What's included with septic pumping
Locate and access the tank
We locate the tank and dig down to the lid. If you do not have risers, we will recommend them so the next visit does not require digging.
Full pump-out, both compartments
We pump the tank completely, including the second compartment on two-compartment tanks. Pumping only the first compartment is a common shortcut we do not take.
Visual inspection
We check baffles, tees, the inlet and outlet, and look for signs of drain field trouble or leaks while the tank is empty.
Plain-English report
Before we leave, we tell you the tank condition, sludge level, and when you should plan the next pump-out.
