What Can Change The Price?

A few factors affect the final cost of your septic pumping service.

#1. Tank Lid Access

If your lids are exposed or shallow (under 6" deep) there is no extra charge. 

If digging is required, it's billed at $200/hour (30 minute increments)

We'll always explain this first before doing any additional work.

#2. Hard To Locate Tanks

In some cases, tanks may need to be located using advanced methods, such as roof vent tracing or probing.

This is uncommon, but if needed, we'll walk you through it before starting so there are no surprises.

#3. Neglected Tanks

If a tank hasn't been maintained for a long time, it can take significantly longer to fully pump and clean.  We do the job properly, and only charge for the extra time if it's truly needed.

We'll always let you know what we're seeing and why before any additional charges apply.
