We offer septic pumping services and other routine maintenance in Winter Haven, FL to make sure that your system is in good shape.
If you have a septic system on your property, you may not know all of the maintenance steps you should take to keep it running smoothly. When a tank becomes overloaded with liquid and solid waste, it can develop a layer of sludge that makes it harder for the tank to separate and process waste. If the tank becomes too full, it can also cause the system to back up into the yard or even into toilets and drains within your home.
Instead of waiting for a problem like that to occur at your property, give us a call at Averett Septic Tank Co Inc. We offer septic pumping services and other routine maintenance to make sure that your system is in good shape.

Excellent experience!
“Greg at Averett Septic Tank Co Inc. was able to provide service the day I called! We were expecting several days, so we were pleased. Averett installed a septic system at our log cabin last year, and then we had our second home's septic tank pumped. Both experiences were excellent.”

Ideal Times to Consider Septic Pumping
At Averett Septic Tank Co Inc., we know that our customers in the Winter Haven, Florida area understand the importance of calling us for septic pumping on a schedule that considers their household size and lifestyle. We also want to share with you a few special situations and other ideal times when you might want to consider septic pumping.
- Before a Party- If you are planning a large gathering at your home, the last thing you need is for it to overwhelm a septic tank that is already close to needing septic pumping. It would be quite embarrassing to have to end a party early while you called for sewage damage cleanup. Be proactive and contact us to take care of it beforehand.
- Before Rainy Season- Most Floridians know that when it rains here, it isn’t always a soft, gentle rain. In fact, during rainy season, in particular, we are more likely to get torrential downpours. A heavy rain can overwhelm your drain field, sending the effluent back to the septic tank. The lower amount of solids in the tank when this happens, the less likely you’ll end up with slow drains, a backup, or contaminated soil around your septic system.
- Before Seasonal Guests- Do you have family that comes and stays with you for a month or longer during the winter? We recommend having septic pumping done before they come so your system can handle the extra amount of waste.
- Starting a Home-Based Business- Working from home as a telecommuter or starting a home-based business can increase the amount of waste going to your septic system. Proactively taking care of septic pumping will give you one less thing to worry about as you begin your new endeavor.
If you have any questions about septic pumping or any of our other services, feel free to call us. Technicians are available 24 hours a day for emergency services, and we can schedule septic services and maintenance throughout normal business hours.

Hidden
How often should a septic tank be pumped?
The right schedule depends on factors such as household size, water usage, and tank capacity. Regular pumping helps prevent excess sludge from building up and affecting the system’s performance.
What are some signs that my septic tank may need pumping?
Slow drains, unpleasant odors, sewage backups, standing water near the drain field, or unusually lush grass around the system may all indicate it’s time for septic service.
Can waiting too long to pump the tank cause damage?
Yes. When solids build up too much, they can interfere with the system’s ability to separate waste properly. This may increase the risk of backup failures, drainage field problems, and more extensive repairs.
Should I schedule septic pumping before hosting a large gathering?
If your tank is already close to needing service, pumping it before a large event can help prepare the system for increased use and reduce the chance of unexpected problems.
Why is professional septic pumping important?
Professional technicians understand how septic systems function and can remove waste safely while also identifying potential issues that may need attention before they become more serious.
