What You Need to Know About Septic Pump-Outs

  • What is a septic pump-out? – Septic pump-outs are just what they sound like—a way to remove accumulated sludge from the septic tank via a vacuum hose and pump. When it’s time to clean out your septic tank, our team will come with our tanker truck and suck everything up and out with a vacuum mechanism. We’ll then take the contents of the tank to a sewage treatment facility for disposal.
  • How often do I need to schedule septic pump-outs? – How often you should schedule septic pump-outs depends on the size of your tank and the size of your household. A small tank will need to be emptied more frequently than a large one, and a household of many people will require this service more often than a household of just one or two. You can expect to need septic pump-outs once every two to five years, but our team can also give you a more specific answer based on your tank.

Caring for your septic system is easier when you have a skilled team to depend on. Reach out today to learn more or to inquire about scheduling any of our services, including pump-outs.
