- Pump up to 1000 gallons (additional fee per 100 gallons over) Upon arrival I spoke with the homeowner and they showed me the general location of the septic tank. After hand excavating and assessing the septic tank, I came to the conclusion that it would be best if the homeowner replaced the septic tank. I then made the homeowner aware that we can get our sewer specialist out tomorrow morning to further diagnose the septic system. I then gave the homeowner multiple upfront options on getting his septic tank pumped and they decided on option 4. After signature approval I pumped the septic tank clean and clear. Upon completion I cleaned up all tools and materials.
