What to Expect During a Professional Septic Tank Pumping from JP Septics

Many homeowners delay septic service because they worry about the mess. At JP Septics, being Native-American owned and family-operated means we treat your land with the same respect we treat our own. We pride ourselves on clear communication and leaving your property exactly how we found it.

Step 1: Locating the Lid

If you don't know where your tank is, don't worry. We have probes and flushable transmitters to locate it precisely. We carefully dig up the lids (usually 6 to 12 inches underground), taking care to cause minimal disruption to your grass.

Tip: Ask us about installing a riser so we never have to dig up your yard again!

Step 2: The Pump Out

We bring a large capacity vacuum truck to your property and run hoses to the tank. You might hear the truck running, but you won't smell a mess. We vacuum out **everything**—not just the water, but the sludge and solids at the bottom. Some companies cut corners and only pump the liquids, but we ensure the tank is truly empty.

Step 3: The Inspection (The Most Important Part)

Once the tank is empty, we don't just leave. We grab a flashlight and inspect the inside. We check the baffles (the tees that prevent sludge from leaving the tank), the structure for cracks or root intrusion, and ensure water from the drain field isn't flowing back into the tank.

Step 4: Closing Up

We secure the lids back in place and fill the soil back in. We make sure the area is safe and tidy before we pack up our gear.

When we drive away, your system is fresh, and you have peace of mind knowing your plumbing is safe for the next few years. You don't have to handle the dirty work—that's what we are here for. If you are ready for a clean, professional septic service, trust the team at JP Septics.
