If you have a septic system at your home or business, it’s important to have the tank pumped out periodically. When a septic tank is full, it can cause clogs and backups that are costly to repair. Busy Bee Septic and Excavating LLC can also prevent the system from malfunctioning, reducing the risk of untreated wastewater overflowing into groundwater or surface water sources.
The septic tank is a large, underground container that holds liquid and solid waste. As wastewater enters the septic tank, heavier solid waste sinks to the bottom and accumulates as sludge while lighter substances like fats, oils, and grease float to the top of the septic tank. The septic tank is also equipped with baffles, which help to separate the waste into different layers. Once the tank is full, septic tank pumping removes the waste and transports it to a septic waste treatment plant for disposal.

Once the septic tank is pumped, a septic technician inspects the interior and exterior of the tank for cracks, leaks, and other damage. They will also check the septic drain field to ensure that it is functioning properly.
Several factors influence the cost of septic tank pumping. The size of the septic tank is one factor, as larger tanks are generally more expensive to service. Accessibility is another factor; septic tanks that are difficult to reach require more labor and may result in higher service fees. Additionally, the frequency of service impacts pricing, as septic tanks that are pumped more frequently are typically due for pumping sooner than those that receive less regular service.
