Watch for slow drains, gurgling sounds, or a sewage smell in your yard. Backups in toilets or floor drains are clear warnings. If the grass above the tank is unusually lush, it could mean water is surfacing. Check for soggy areas near the drain field. Any of these signs mean it’s time to pump.

Pumping a septic tank does get dirty, but we keep the mess contained. Our crew uses a sealed suction hose and a pump that draws waste directly into the truck.

Yes, we can pump a tank that’s overdue, but it may take longer if the solids have built up. An overdue tank can be harder to pump, so we bring extra equipment to handle the load.

Afterward we advise you on a regular schedule to avoid future overloads.
