SEPTIC TANK CLEANING 101

THE MOST COMMON QUESTION IS, HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO PUMP OUT OR CLEAN MY SEPTIC TANK?????
LETS BREAK IT DOWN, THERE ARE DIFFERENT FACTORS THAT MAY CHANGE THE PRICING OF A PUMP OUT ,THE SIZE( WE CAN USUALLY DETERMINE THE SIZE BY NUMBER OF BED ROOMS OR SQUARE FOOTAGE OF HOUSE) , DEPTH (IF THE TANK IS MORE THAN 6 TO 8 INCHES DEEP THERE WILL BE AN ADDITONAL COST FOR EXCAVATION), LOCATION (DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE SEPTIC TANK IS ? WE HAVE HAVE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT TO LOCATE THE TANK) AND CONDITION OF THE TANK (FOR EXAMPLE IF THE SEPTIC TANK WAS MAINTAINED PROPERLY AND WAS CLEANED ON AN AVERAGE OF EVERY THREE YEAR THE TANK WILL BE IN FAIRLY GOOD CONDITION).

IN ORDER TO PROPERLY CLEAN A TANK WE SHOULD OPEN ONE OF THE LIDS ON THE TANK WETHER IT HAVE A SECTIONAL LID ,ROUND OR SQUARE PLUG .AFTER THE TANK IS CLEANED IT IS VITAL TO VISUALLY INSPECT/ CHECK THE BAFFLES /OUT LET DEVICE TO INSURE THAT THEY ARE IN GOOD CONDITION

  1. The cost of maintaining the septic tank also largely depends on the age and overall condition. Expect to pay higher price especially to fix leaking tanks and pipelines. Wastewater Disposal Information

  3. I didn't realize that the depth of the tank would affect the price. I get my septic tank maintenanced every year. I know that by doing this, the tank will last a lot longer. On average, how much is it if the tank is too full and overflowing? http://www.atlanticsepticsystemsinc.com
