Every standard septic tank cleaning includes locating the tank using conventional methods, hand digging 1-2 feet to access the tank lid(s), and complete pumping of the septic tank, including both compartments on dual-chamber systems. All liquids, sludge, and floating solids are fully removed, followed by a visual assessment of the baffles, inlet, outlet, and other accessible components. Our technicians also look for early warning signs that could develop into larger repairs if left unaddressed, and all waste is properly transported and disposed of at approved facilities. Our septic tank cleaning pricing is based on tank size, waste volume, and accessibility of the tank lids.
