What Drives the Price
- Tank size. Your tank's gallon capacity sets which flat-rate tier applies: $100, $395, $495, or $595.
- Lid depth. Lid access up to 6 inches deep is included at every tier. A $99 exposure fee applies only if your lids sit deeper than 6 inches below grade.
- What the inspection finds. A full tank inspection is included, so if there's a problem with the tank or drain field beyond a routine pumping, you'll know before it becomes a bigger repair.

Why Pump on a Schedule
Regular septic pumping is cheaper than an emergency backup — staying ahead of your tank's pumping schedule avoids both the higher cost and the mess of an emergency call. We can help you plan for the next pumping so you're never caught off guard.
