A septic tank service is a necessity for homeowners who are not connected directly to a sewage system. Some homeowners may not be aware of what comes with septic tank servicing, especially if they have just moved to their first property with a tank. The embedded video describes what to expect from a local septic company when they arrive at your house for service.
The technician should make their presence known to you before they start digging around for the tank.
Often, if the drain is not exposed, the technician will have to dig up the grass near the drain to access it easily. Worry not, as the hole will be filled back in and the grass replaced to where it once was.
The technician will open the tank and begin draining to the truck. This process is quick and efficient and should have your tank drained in no time.
The technician will then finalize the paperwork on their end and may ask for a signature from the homeowner before they leave. This will give a good chance for the homeowner to inspect the work, but keep in mind that technicians are not landscapers, so it will not be perfect.
Each local septic company will be different, but this is the general process for septic tank drainage.
