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.

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, experts recommend pumping your septic tank every 2-3 years. This essential maintenance, much like changing your car’s oil, helps prevent costly problems before they arise. In Scottsdale, with its stunning desert landscapes and over 300 days of sunshine annually, keeping your septic system in check is crucial for protecting both your home and the environment.

So, how can you tell when it’s time to pump? If your septic system starts backing up, shows signs of slow drainage, or you can’t remember the last service, it’s wise to schedule a pump.

Don’t risk inconvenient backups during weekends or holidays! Taking action now not only saves you from potential chaos but also extends the life of your system. At HomeField East Valley, we strive to make this process as hassle-free as possible. We’ll even send you email reminders when it’s time for your next service, ensuring your septic system remains in optimal condition year-round.
