Septic Tank Pumping Apache Junction
Proper maintenance is the KEY to the longevity of your system!
Septic Tank Pumping Service in Apache Junction, AZ
Septic tank pumping is a service that is required by all septic system owners and is the single, most important thing that you can do to keep your system working properly and extend the life of the disposal field.
Septic tank pumping is the service where the lids to the septic tank are exposed and all of the scum, water and sludge are removed from the septic tank. This means the tank is completely pumped out. There is NO reason to EVER just have your septic “liquids” pumped out. Every service should include complete extraction of all material in the septic tank.
Oh and that Rid-X or other septic tank additive that you are using every month… save your money! These products have been found to cause more harm than help and absolutely do not replace complete septic tank pumping.

For an average family of four, it is recommended that you pump your septic tank every 2-3 years. Like changing the oil in your car, pumping your septic tank is a required maintenance which is necessary even though there are no apparent problems.
How do you know if it’s time to pump your septic tank? When a septic system starts to back up or is no longer draining properly, you can’t remember the last time you pumped out your septic tank or it’s been more than 3 years since your last service… odds are, it’s time to do it again!
Don’t let your septic tank back up on you at the most inopportune time, like late at night, Sunday afternoon or even Christmas Day! Pump your septic tank before you have any issues. More often than not, when a septic tank is backing up into the home, there is likely to be more issues than just a full tank. Waiting for a problem to arise with your septic tank can damage the septic system, clog the disposal field or cause a septic backup into your home costing you excess time and money. This is even more true with older septic systems! Priority Pumping wants to make your routine septic pumping and cleaning as hassle-free as possible. Once you are a customer with us, we’ll even send you an email reminder when your system is due for service again! Just another way we take care of our customers.
If you want your septic system to last a long time, PLEASE don’t pump your septic tank through the inspection port!
When you pump through an inspection or clean out port, you are only sucking out water and light solids.
Always pump the septic tank through the lid openings directly on top of the septic tank or through the riser lid from a riser extension.
