Septic Tank 
Pumping & Cleaning

Before Your Appointment

Before we arrive, be sure there is enough room in your driveway for our truck, as well as no obstacles between the septic lid and the driveway. Sometimes, if the septic lid is located further out, the truck will need to be parked in the yard, close enough that we can reach the septic tank with our pump. If you don't know where your septic lid is located, don't worry, we'll find it for you!

The Day of Your Appointment

Once the septic lid has been located, we'll use a small excavator to dig up the tank. From there, the process is simple - we pump your septic system and clean it out! This process usually takes one to two hours. During this time, you can go about your own business while we work. While we do our best to minimize as much smell as possible, we are, at the end of the day, still dealing with a full septic system. So you can expect some unpleasant smells to waft through the air.

Once we're done though, the smell will go away quickly, so you don't have to worry about a lingering odor. Closing all windows will help reduce how much odor enters your home. And, as long as we know where your septic system is located, we can take care of it all without you being there.

Feel free to go about your normal day - we've got this covered! After all, septic tank pumping and cleaning is what we're here to do in Metro Atlanta and surrounding areas.

How Often Do I Need to Have my Septic Tank Pumped?

For most households, a septic system should be pumped every 3-5 years, depending on your water usage. Factors that may make it necessary to pump sooner rather than later include having a large household and having a garbage disposal because these mean more waste is being collected.

Common Misconceptions

One of the most common misconceptions is that the septic tank only needs to be cleaned when there's a problem. But if you wait until something goes wrong, it can actually be harder and more expensive to fix. That's why it's important to make sure your septic is cleaned and maintained regularly.

Are There any Problems I Should Be Prepared for?

Pumping a septic tank is a fairly simple and routine process, so we don't expect to run into any issues. If you're a new homeowner, usually the biggest problem is finding the septic lid. But we'll have a pretty good idea of where to look and know how to find it if you're not sure where it is.

Making Future Septic System Pumping Easier

One of the things that makes finding a septic tank difficult is not having a raised lid. That's why we offer raiser installations to help future septic system pumpings run faster and smoother.
