Pride Plumbing was called by the customer to come out and pump out their septic tank. We arrived with our septic pumping truck; located and uncovered the home’s septic tank, used a tractor to remove its lid, pumped it out, cleaned the tank’s filter, ensured proper drainage and flushing, reset the lid, and covered the tank back up. After we pumped the tank, we found an excessive number of roots in the solid and liquid sides of it. We advised the customer they could put root killer in the drain line to try and kill the roots, but the tank needed to be replaced soon due to all the roots in it.
