A+ Septic Tank Pumping is a family owned and operated company. We are committed to providing a quality service and 100% customer satisfaction. We pump septic tanks of all sizes in Johnston and surrounding counties. Most cases we can provide same day service for emergency backup and Saturday service also.

"For a regular pump they are fine. Don’t call them when something serious is going on. Tried to charge me 1200 for a pump. I found someone who would do it for 700. Then charged me 150 fee to diagnose problem since I didn’t use them."

We are locally owned and operated in Clayton, NC servicing all of Wake, Johnston, Harnett, Orange, and Durham counties providing septic and grease trap system pumping, general maintenance and service, and complete turnkey isntallations/repairs. We are not only readily available and cost effective but also environmentally friendly in every aspect of our business. Available 24 hours a day and on weekends, we are outfitted for any onsite wastewater service/pumping, repair, or installation need you may have. Give us a call to discuss your project or need today!

"These guys are fantastic. We were in a bind, and needing our septic tank cleaned out today if at all possible. I called several companies before trying Full Circle Environmental. Others described a several day wait. Seeing the 5 star rating for Full Circle, I decided to give them a call. Right away I could tell I had found a truly reputable and caring company. I spoke first with Zac, then with Anna, who told me that she would be able to have someone transferred from a job they were working on in order to come and help me. Justin arrived an hour later, and an hour and a half after that, we were good to go (after some significant digging to get to the tank, which he took in stride without complaint.) From beginning to end of the process I felt as though my little project was important to them, and I told Justin as he was leaving that I predict they’ll be a Super Service award winner before long. They have that characteristic “We’ve got your best interests at heart here, and we’ll help you figure this out” attitude that is why I so love using Angi.com. I couldn’t be happier, and highly recommend Full Circle Environmental. Though my job was small, I am almost certain that they treat every project the same way. You can just feel it in everything from the first call to the final wrap up. The next time I need my septic system attended to again, they will be the company I call. Thank you!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

The ideal depth of a septic drain field is 18 to 36 inches below the surface. The trenches must be deep enough to allow proper wastewater distribution and filtration while remaining shallow enough for oxygen to reach the soil, promoting bacterial activity that helps break down contaminants. In areas with high groundwater or poor drainage, shallower systems like mound drain fields may be required.

A septic tank always has some amount of liquid in it—which should usually be 8 to 12 inches from the top of the tank. If the liquid level is higher than that or is overflowing the drainage pipe that leads out to the leach field, the tank may be too full and in need of pumping.

A septic tank should be emptied approximately once every three to five years, though this frequency will vary depending on your water usage, the size of your tank, how many people are in your home, and other factors. A maintenance plan for your septic system may be useful for professional emptying and inspection of other important parts.

There are a few signs you can look out for to determine if your well pump needs to be repaired or replaced, including the following:

  • Your water pressure fluctuates.

  • You lose water entirely on occasion.

  • You notice the pump making unusual noises.

  • Water sputters out of your fixtures.

  • Your utility bills suddenly spike without explanation.

  • You notice sediment or cloudiness in your water.

  • You hear that the pump runs continuously.

If you notice any of these issues, call a professional well pump repair service to inspect it and determine whether you should repair or replace it.

There are no major drawbacks or risks to oversizing a well pressure tank for your well. In some cases, having a larger pressure tank can increase its lifespan as it won’t have to cycle on and off as often, resulting in less wear and tear. Keep in mind that larger pressure tanks have a higher upfront cost and take up more space.
