the Cost of Septic Tank Cleaning

The services rendered included the cleaning of a large amount of liquid from in and around the septic tank in our yard with the additional treatment of the septic tank itself using special chemicals that would prevent a septic issue from reoccurring. The fee also included a soil analysis that was quickly completed around the site of the tank to determine the soil pH and material content so that we would know how safe the soil was for planting around the tank site.

The service itself was very prompt and efficient. The group that we used was called in the late morning hours when we noticed there was a problem, and within an hour, they were already at out property taking samples and draining the septic tank and the ground so that we weren't walking potentially into a deep bog. The checking of the soil around the tank was an added bonus, as was the provision of the chemicals that were put into the septic system to ensure that there wouldn't be another issue for a while.

When choosing a septic service for any reason, go with someone that will be there in case of a problem promptly. Unlike indoor plumbing, a septic rupture or overflow can cause serious damage to your property and can result in major bacterial risk to your family and your pets, along with any wildlife around the area. A septic service with a 24 hour emergency line is optimal, although it isn't always necessary. In addition, look for a septic service that has their own equipment capable of dealing with your tanks, as some larger tanks cannot be cleared with smaller equipment - ensure that the firm you choose can handle the job before you call on them to deal with your emergency.
