- Pump up to 1000 gallons (additional fee per 100 gallons over) - Agitate the septic tank until all solids are a liquid sludge Upon arrival I spoke with the homeowner and she made me aware of the location of the septic tank after further evaluation I noticed that there were giant tree roots covering the outlet side of her tank. I then made her aware that she would need to get those removed in order to look at the outlet side of her tank and her drain field. I then gave her multiple upfront options and she decided on option 1. After signature approval I began pumping the tank and agitating all the solids into a liquid sludge. After pumping it down I noticed a massive root system in the center of the tank. I then let the homeowner know our sewer specialist would inform her on the best way to handle the situation. Upon completion I cleaned up all tools and materials.
