the Cost of Septic Tank Cleaning

We have to have the septic tank cleaned and pumped every three years by law in the state we live in. Last Augusta was the three year mark again so we called a local septic company to pump out the septic tank and clean and inspect the filter system on it. We have a mound type septic system.

We pre-dug the ground around the cement cap above his work area to save the $20 charge of having the septic worker do the digging.

The septic worker showed up and asked for permission to proceed. We told him to have at it. He first removed the cover to the system and cleaned the filter. He said the filter was in fine shape and then went on to put a huge hose down in the septic tank and sucked all the icky stuff into the tank on his truck.

Once done he replaced the filter and the lid to the septic. It was up to us to put the dirt back around the cement lid to the septic system.

The septic worked was prompt. They had given me a time frame for when he would arrive and he was on time. He was also very courteous and friendly.

To hire a company that comes recommended by other with septic systems. A septic tank is very expensive and you want it maintained properly.
