Septic Procedures
Septic services are charged by increments of 1,000 gallons and every 250 gallons after that. This pricing varies by area. We require that the client provide an exact physical address at the time of the initial inquiry to provide an accurate quote.
Scheduling Professional Septic Services
When a client calls in to schedule a septic service, office personnel is responsible for inquiring about the client's septic. It includes the following:
- Type of septic system
- Exposure of the septic lid(s)
- The proper length of hose
- Any specific instructions
- Payment information
- The point of contact who will meet the service driver at the scheduled time of service
aerobic septic systems
These septic systems are typically 1,500-2,000 gallons, typically with 3 lids (2 above ground and 1 buried). This may vary from system to
system, but the services are extended in the same fashion.
- The client is required to stay on-site during the service's duration to ensure that the service is being rendered correctly, This is also to protect our driver if an issue should arise.
- Before service, the driver is to confirm that the pump is turned off. We cannot provide service while the pump is still on. This is to prevent damage to the pump, as it cannot operate without liquid. If the pump is not turned off and service is rendered, the pump can potentially burn out, placing responsibility on our company.
- The firs compartment pumped is the trash tank.

Pumping the waste may require water to be pumped into the system first to soften the waste.
- The next compartment to be serviced will be the pump tank.
- Once the driver pumps out all compartments, the driver will ask the client to check inside the tank to see that it is empty.
- Lastly, the clarifier compartment will be serviced.
Next steps for your septic system
Although the driver is to leave the septic empty, they typically inform the client that the tank's pump compartment is to be filled with water and the clarifier compartment is to be filled halfway with water. They will also remind the client that the pump is to be turned back on once this is done and not before.
- The driver will then place the lid(s) back on the septic tank to complete the service.
