Frequently asked questions

How often should I have my septic tank serviced?

Experts recommend having septic tanks pumped out at least every 1-2 years, and more often for older or high-occupant dwellings or seasonal rentals.

Do I have to uncover the lid prior to pumping?

While we appreciate customers uncovering the tank prior to service, our staff provides this service for those unable to do so.

Do I have to know the location of my septic tank?

If you know the general area in which the tank is located, our staff are most often able to quickly identify the lid of the tank.

Do I have to be home when the tank is pumped?

No, you can make arrangements over the phone or leave us a diagram, but you definitely don't need to be home!

How long does it take to pump out my tank?

Depending on the size and circumstances of your tank, pumping can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour.

Do I have to pay immediately?

You can pay via Cash, Check, or Credit card at time of service.

What is an As-Built, and how do I get one?

If you aren't sure about the location of your tank, you may need an "As-Built." This document shows the location of your structure's septic tank as it was built, and can be picked up at your town hall.

How often do grease traps need to be pumped?

Grease traps vary in their service frequency based on the size of the unit and its level of use. We can work with you to determine a service frequency that works well for your circumstances.

How far in advance can I schedule a pumping?

You can call to schedule an appointment as far in advance as you wish. We offer recurring appointments to our commercial customers, and can send reminder notices on an annual basis.
