Septic Tank Pumping
Full pump-outs that keep solids out of your drain field.
Every septic tank slowly fills with solids. If they are not pumped out, they move into the drain field, and that is the expensive part of the system to fix.
We find and uncover the lid, pump the tank all the way down and take a look at the inside while it is empty.
What is included
- Locating and uncovering the tank lid
- A complete pump-out of liquids and solids
- A look at the baffles, tees and tank walls while the tank is empty
- Notes on what we found and when to pump next
When to call
- It has been three to five years since the last pump-out, or you do not know when it was
- Drains are slow all over the house
- You hear gurgling in the pipes or smell sewage outside
- You are buying a home and there is no pumping record
Where we offer it
We provide septic tank pumping in Statesboro, Brooklet, Register, Portal and Metter.
Questions about septic tank pumping
How often should a septic tank be pumped?
For most homes, every three to five years. It depends on the size of the tank and how many people live in the house. A large family, a small tank or a garbage disposal all mean pumping more often. If you do not know when it was last done, it is worth having it checked.
What should I do during a septic backup?
Stop using water straight away. That means no flushing, showers, laundry or dishwasher. Keep children and pets away from any sewage, and do not open the tank yourself because the gases inside are dangerous. Then call us.
