    For over 7 years, I have been living in an area that has poor ground percolation. During the rainy season or when the ground freezes, the septic tank fills up and backs into the drain lines. Since this happens at least once a year, I have used Rick more times than I can count. He provides prompt

    They were at my home two hours after I called them. They located my tank in less than ten minutes. It took about twenty minutes to dig down to the tank opening. It took much less time to pump it out and hose it relatively clean. Very competent. Very polite. Very pleasant young men.

    Man came in septic pump truck labeled with company name. He located the opening to our septic tank in our front yard without damaging surrounding lawn. He emptied the tank of its contents. Then he closed the tank and reset the sod he had lifted to open the tank. Good work without a mess.

    Rick and Marcus arrived promptly, cleared the blocked waste line into the septic tank and then pumped the tank. They first had to searching about an acre of side and front yard to locate the tank, then dig down about 2 feet with shovels to expose the septic tank lid and remove it. (Had it been

    Excellent job. They worked hard to find the tank. I had no clue where it was. They did a great job of getting the clog unclogged and charged me the price they first quoted over the phone.

Septic Tank Service FAQ

  1. What are the signs your septic tank is full?

    Answer: There are several signs that indicate your septic tank could be full. These include standing water over your septic tank, a strong odor coming from your yard, gurgling water, slow drains, or a sewage backup. While many of these signs could also be indicative of a clogged system, they should all be checked out by a professional ASAP to avoid costly damages. In the absence of any of these signs, it’s recommended that septic tanks be emptied every 3 to 5 years on average.

  2. How often should a septic tank be serviced?

    Answer: On average, septic tanks should be serviced every 3 to 5 years in the absence of any worrying signs that the tank is clogged or full. The size of your septic tank, the number of people living in your home, and your average water usage will all impact how often your septic tank needs to be serviced.

  3. What are the most common causes of septic tank failure?

    Answer: The most common cause of septic tank failure is improper maintenance. Failing to pump a septic tank on the appropriate schedule will cause septic tank failure and likely result in a costly septic tank repair or replacement. On average, septic tanks should be pumped every 3 to 5 years, but the size of your tank, the number of people in your home, and your average water usage may shorten or extend this timeframe.

  4. How much does it cost to pump a septic tank?

    Answer: The cost to pump a septic tank is $400 on average or about $0.30 per gallon. The size of your septic tank, as well as local labor costs, will impact the cost of pumping your septic tank. Most septic tanks are between 600 and 2,000 gallons in size, meaning the average cost range is between $180 to $600.

  5. How much does it cost to install a septic system?

    Answer: The cost to install a septic tank system is between $3,060 and $9,810, on average. The size of the septic tank you choose, the land you’re installing it on, the type of system you choose, and local labor costs will all influence the total cost of installing a septic system. Anaerobic septic tanks (those that don’t need oxygen) typically cost between $3,000 and $8,000. Aerobic systems, which utilize oxygen to activate bacteria and are popular on smaller properties, usually cost between $10,000 and $20,000.

  6. How long does a septic system last?

    Answer: When septic systems are well maintained, they can last up to 30 years or more. If a septic system isn’t properly maintained, such as when it isn’t pumped regularly, it may malfunction and require costly repairs or a premature replacement. In general, septic tank pumping is recommended every 3 to 5 years to ensure the septic system lasts as long as possible.
