The Pump That Septic Way

Septic Tank Pumping Done Right.

Some companies just pump and go—but not us. We use a machine to stir the tank, ensuring all the solids are removed to protect your drain field. If we spot any issues, our techs will let you know so you can avoid surprises later.

Book your service now or check out our homeowner checklist of common household habits that are ruining your septic system!

Tank Locating Service

Save your tears and your back. We can find that old septic lid that's buried and lost, and dig it up for you.

All-Solids-Removed Guarantee

While some pumpers focus on pure speed, our team takes the time to blend every tank we pump to ensure all solids—not just liquids—are removed.

Real-Time Text Updates

Never wonder about your service status again. We send real-time text updates with your technician's name and arrival time, so you stay informed remotely or inside your home.

Additional Services and Upgrades

If you need more than just a septic tank pumping, we’ve got your back:

Tank Locating

Using a probe, or in extreme cases a location-tracing camera, we can find the septic tank for you, saving you time and frustration.

Effluent Filter Cleaning

Most septic tanks installed after 1990 have a filter to protect the drain field. We’ll clean it during your tank pumping—no smells for you.

Riser Installation

Never lose your septic lid again! A riser installation saves you digging fees and allows faster access to the tank for emergency service.

Camera Diagnostic

If your septic backs up repeatedly, your drain field may be the issue. Our underground camera pinpoints the problem so we can recommend repairs.

Sewer Line Jetting

Grease and toilet paper can clog the inlet pipe. High pressure water jetting clears the blockage, getting your toilet flowing to the septic tank again!

SludgeHammer Retrofit

If your drain field has failed from solids clogging the soil, a SludgeHammer® bacterial generator retrofit can restore it with little to no digging!

Hear from past clients

“Definitely worth every penny. We found everything we needed to and got everything pumped out.”
