Septic Tank Cleaning 

Regular cleaning of the septic tank is the cost-effective way of maintaining the entire septic system. The frequency of pumping should balance between waste water volume and the size of the septic tank. As an average a septic tank should be pumped once every three years. The purpose of the pumping is to remove solid waste that is purposefully trapped in the septic tank so that it does not reach the drain field thus preventing septic system failure. A basic septic pumping or cleaning service includes the removal of the solids from the septic tank and checking effluent filters and pumps. Additional services that may be needed, which are provided at a cost include locating the tank, digging services, cleaning effluent filter, and riser upgrades.
