- Pump up to 1000 gallons (additional fee per 100 gallons over) Upon arrival I spoke with the homeowner and he made me aware that he was trying to get his septic tank preventatively pumped and he showed me the location of the septic tank. After an analysis of the septic system I came to the conclusion that it was time to get it pumped. I then gave the homeowner multiple upfront options. He decided on option 2 and upon signature approval I began pumping the septic tank until it was clean and clear. Upon completion I cleaned up all tools and materials.
