Not Sure Where Your Septic Tank Is? We Can Find It.
Many homeowners do not know where their septic tank is located. This is more common than you might think, and we help with it every day.
Here are a few methods for how we can quickly find your septic tank:
- Probing. In many cases, a soil field rod is enough to find the tank.
- Transmitter technology. Camera systems with transmitters can pinpoint hard-to-find tanks.
- County records. We can contact local offices to gather available tank location information.
No matter the situation, we have the tools and experience to find your septic tank without added stress or delays.
We Can Install Septic Tank Access Risers
We can install septic tank risers if you'd like. These will not only mark where your tank is, but will make future services easier and less expensive.
Specialized Care for Aerobic Treatment Units (ATU)
If your property uses an Aerobic Treatment Unit (ATU) rather than a traditional septic tank, your maintenance needs are a bit more unique.
Because ATU systems rely on mechanical parts and specific aerobic bacteria to treat wastewater, they require a more technical touch to stay in peak condition.
Our technicians are authorized experts in ATU maintenance, focusing on the details that keep these complex systems running:
Mechanical Health Checks
We inspect all moving components and aerators to prevent mechanical failure.
Bacteria Levels
We assess the health of the aerobic bacteria to ensure your system is actually treating waste effectively.
Regulatory Compliance
Many local regulations and manufacturers require a formal service contract to keep your system up to code.
Whether you need a one-time inspection or a required service contract, we handle the technical details so you don't have to.

Septic Pumping FAQs
How often should septic pumping be done?
On average, septic tanks need to be pumped every 2 to 3 years. But a more precise timeframe depends on usage, tank size, and your household size.
We can advise how often you should have your tank pumped after your first service.
What happens if I don't pump my septic tank?
The biggest consequence of not pumping your septic tank is damaging your drain field (also known as a leach field). Drain and leach fields can cost tens of thousands of dollars to replace.
Delaying pumping can lead to septic system backups in your home.
Do I need to be home during septic pumping?
In some cases, you do not need to be home. However, if you have gate codes or pets, you may need to be present. We'll review your case over the phone and advise from there.
Can you pump my tank if it is buried deep underground?
Yes, we are equipped to handle deep septic tanks.
If your tank is difficult to access, we can install septic risers to bring the access point closer to the surface. Risers make future maintenance much easier and more affordable.
How long does septic pumping take?
The time it takes to pump a septic tank typically ranges from 20 to 60 minutes.
This depends on the tank's size and the amount of sludge to be removed. However, the entire process, including preparation and cleanup, can take longer.
Will the technician explain what they find?
Yes. Our technicians take time to explain system conditions and answer questions so you know what to expect going forward.
