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.

We recommend that a typical family of four pump their septic tank every 2-3 years. Just like changing the oil in your car, regular septic tank maintenance is essential even when no issues are visible.

Wondering if it’s time? If your system is slow to drain, backing up, or it’s been over 3 years since your last service, it’s time to pump! Don’t wait for a messy backup—especially during inconvenient times like weekends or holidays. Delaying can lead to expensive repairs or damage to your septic system, particularly for older systems.
