Getting Your Septic Tank Pumped? Here's What to Expect

This video shows what to expect when pumping your septic tank. Installing a septic tank is a fantastic idea if you live in an area where the local sewer service does not reach. It would be wise to hire a professional septic contractor to service your tank for optimum performance. Knowing what to expect when such maintenance happens is vital in ensuring you do not waste time, money, and energy on sub-standard septic pumpers.

The first thing you should expect from a septic tank expert is consultation. Consultation is vital in communicating whether you need the contractor for routine pumping or specific repair work.

Once the purpose is clear, the contractor can locate the septic tank using a soil probe. The tank will make a particular noise when it collides with the soil probe revealing its location.

Marking out the tank's dimensions is essential in locating its lid. You can expose the cover through DIY digging to reduce the overall septic pumping costs. Experts will clean your septic tank by removing its cap and using septic vacuuming equipment to remove all the solid waste. Most septic pumpers will also ensure your tank is functioning optimally before covering it up.
