Routine Septic Tank Pumping and Inspection Services

Routine pumping and maintenance from our team can prevent your septic tank from needing costly repairs. We offer comprehensive services from professionals certified to operate in your county. Some of the septic pumping services we offer include:

Septic tank pumping removes solid waste from the tank to prevent the inlet or outlet baffles from clogging. Pumping also allows us to clean the inside of the tank, removing any residue that has accumulated. Our team has access to premium pumping equipment that elevates speed and precision.

We can perform specialized pumping services for the systems that contain pump chambers or pump tanks. These systems collect and control the flow of effluent. However, they may accumulate sludge or scum over time, losing proper functionality as a result. They also have experience working safely around the chamber or tank’s electrical and mechanical components.

Can I Pump My Septic Tank on My Own?

Pumping your septic tank is not a do-it-yourself job. You will need to hire a professional septic tank pumping company to do the job for you. We have the equipment needed to pump septic tanks safely and maintain certification in the counties in which we operate. Our pumpers take and pass tests from the Washington On-Site Sewage Association (WOSSA).
