What are the 3 E's of septic tank pumping?
Expose, Extract and Examine

Exposing The Lids

The lids to the septic tank must be removed for a proper maintenance cleaning. This means exposing the 18"-24" man-hole lids in the top of the septic tank.

Exposing the Lids

Pumping a septic tank through a 3"-6" riser pipe over the baffles is NOT the proper way to clean a tank. In fact, pumping a septic tank this way will result in a premature leach field or disposal field failure.

Extracting All Waste

A proper septic tank pumping service includes extracting all of the waste in the septic tank - all scum, water, sludge and other solid materials.

Extracting All Waste

There is no reason to ever just pump out the "liquids" in a septic tank. That service is a scam and waste of your money. We ALWAYS clean your tank the right way. Improper cleaning is the #1 reason for leach field failures and replacements.

Examine The Tank

A septic tank should be examined during every septic tank pumping service. The lids must be removed in order to see the inner-workings of the tank.

Examine The Tank

What do we look for? We check the inlet and outlet baffles inside of the tank. They are important! We also check for cracks, root invasions and clean the effluent filter with every service, if present.

For a typical family of four in Gilbert, AZ, pumping your septic tank every 2-3 years is crucial. Just like changing your car’s oil, this routine maintenance keeps your system running smoothly—even when everything seems fine.

So, how can you tell if it’s time? If your system backs up, drains slowly, or it’s been over three years since your last service, it’s likely time for a pump. Don’t wait for an inconvenient moment, like a holiday or weekend, to discover a backup. When your tank overflows, you may face bigger issues, such as damage to your system or a clogged disposal field.
