Pumping your septic tank is essential to maintain your septic system and extend the years it operates effectively. Routine septic tank pumping is required in most counties to be done every three years. Without regular septic tank cleaning, the solids can pass out of the tanks to your drain field or mound.
Many septic systems require a pump with an alarm system to inform the homeowner when there is a pump problem. Often the septic pump will need to be repaired or replaced at that time. Call us right away if your septic alarm goes off. Thank you Julie and Andy for the quick service and reasonable charge to keep our sewer line running and for pumping out the tank.
Septic compliance inspections are often required for the sale or transfer of property and can be required when pulling a building permit. A septic system inspection will include evaluating your existing septic system, taking some soil borings and a thorough tank inspection. In order to certify the tanks, we are required to pump the septic tanks so we can get a better view of the condition.

My high tank level alarm went off at midnight. I called in the morning and described the issue. They were able to troubleshoot the problem over the phone and dispatch a friendly service tech immediately with the likely part. The issue was resolved within 2 hours of being on-site (bad pump). Thank you so, so much for making my issue a priority and allowing me to avoid a potential messy situation!! Excellent customer service.

Called a few Septic companies out this way this morning. No one picked up or as yet even called back, with a message of a level alarm going off. The exception was Andy, at Jim's Excavating. We had a level alarm go off over the weekend. After I hung up with him this a.m. he was out within 40 minutes,—determined the issue and begun to fix—completing it within the hour at a highly competitive rate compared to previous experiences. Thank you Andy.
