Don’t neglect septic pumping; call our team for maintenance!
Septic systems meet the wastewater needs of many homes and businesses throughout the state, and they are generally considered to be a fair alternative to municipal sewage systems when the latter are not available. That being said, a septic system’s maintenance is the responsibility of the property owner rather than the city, so it’s essential to stay on top of it if you have one. In Dover, Florida, you can rely on our team at Averett Septic Tank Co Inc. for septic pumping.
Septic pumping is necessary to remove accumulated solids and liquids from the septic tank.

Our team will come to your property with the right truck and equipment to remove the contents of the tank and allow it to keep operating smoothly and safely. We have been in this business since 1958, so we know what we’re doing and how important septic pumping is.

FAQs About Septic Pumping
If your home relies on a septic system, it is essential to ensure it is well maintained. One important part of that is septic pumping. At Averett Septic Tank Co Inc., we offer this service and many others, ensuring your system works as it should. Here are a few of the common questions we get about this service.
Hidden
How often should septic tanks be pumped?
Most septic tanks should be pumped every three to five years, although the exact frequency varies on the tank size, number of people in the home, water usage, and waste entering the system. With regular inspections, we can create a tailored pumping schedule that works best for your home.
Why is septic pumping necessary?
Solids and sludge gradually accumulate inside the septic tank. Pumping eliminates this buildup before it takes up too much space or enters the drain field, where it can cause clogs, backups, and costly system issues.
What are some signs that my septic tank needs to be pumped?
Slow drains, gurgling plumbing, unpleasant odors, sewage backups, and excessively damp or lush areas surrounding the drain field can all indicate a problem. If you notice any of these signs, give us a call.
What happens during septic pumping?
A member from our team accesses the tank and uses specialized equipment to remove collected liquids, sludge, and sediments. At the same time, they will also visually inspect accessible components to identify signs of damage or other issues.
How long does septic pumping take?
Typical septic pumping can be finished in a few hours or less. The exact length of time depends on tank size, accessibility, system condition, and if the tank must be located or uncovered before servicing begins.
