Residential Septic Pumping in Lake Wales, Florida
When we come to complete your residential septic pumping, we don’t just pump it out quickly and drive off. You can expect us to complete a thorough process, including the following:

  • First, we locate your tank and uncover both sides of the tank so we can easily inspect it.
  • We do a complete pump-out of any buildup that is present in your tank.
  • Once it is clean, we can check the structure of the tank to make sure it is sound.
  • We clean the filter and replace it if needed.
  • Before we close it all up, we will check your drain field’s operation to make sure it is working as it should.

Very pleased!

FAQs About Residential Septic Pumping

Anyone can have questions about residential septic pumping– it doesn’t matter if you have lived in a Lake Wales, Florida home with a septic system for decades or just moved into a home with one and you’ve never learned anything about it. At Averett Septic Tank Co Inc., we pride ourselves on being a valuable resource for information that can help you get the longest, most reliable, performance from your septic system. Here are some questions we have been asked in the past about residential septic pumping, but feel free to contact us with any questions you might have.

Aren’t all residential septic pumping companies the same?
We might all arrive in basically the same style of waste management vehicle, but our services can be vastly different. We’ve seen companies come and go since we opened in 1958 because they don’t offer the full-service experience that we do. You don’t just get a pump-out. You get an eagle eye keeping watch over the condition of your septic system so you can stay ahead of any problems.
Why do some people call for annual septic pumping?

An annual septic inspection isn’t a bad idea, especially if you have an older septic system. Since we are already there to check it out, why not have it pumped at the same time? You will have complete peace of mind that your tank won’t be overfull, and we’ll be able to conduct a more thorough inspection after pumping it out. Not everyone goes with annual residential septic pumping, but if you want complete peace of mind, it is worth considering.

If you're looking for a septic company you can trust, I can't recommend Averett Septic enough. From the very first phone call to the finished job, everyone was professional, friendly, and easy to work with.

Alex stayed in touch throughout the entire process, kept us updated, and was always quick to answer questions, which made a stressful project so much easier. The receptionist was incredibly kind and patient every time I called. She always made sure my questions were answered or got me to the right person without making me feel like a bother.

Wolf and Brandon did an outstanding job replacing our drain field. They worked hard, paid attention to the details, and did a great job spreading everything back out afterward so our yard looked as good as possible considering the amount of work involved.

Their communication, quality of work, and fair pricing were all top-notch. It's hard to find companies that genuinely care about their customers anymore, but Averett Septic definitely does. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again and will gladly recommend them to anyone needing septic work.
Response from the owner:Amber, we are thrilled that our team's combined efforts helped to set your mind at ease and resolve your septic needs so thoroughly. Thank you for sharing your shout-outs for Alex, Wolf, and Brandon! We are here should any other concerns arise, so please do not hesitate to reach back out anytime.
Nathan's years of service shows his Workmanship ,Quality, Time, Communication, Knowledge and Dedication !!!
He pumped out my septic tank and I have a roots growing down there !!!
He tried to pull out what he can reach ( Amen ) !!!
Then he recommended someone in the company to help me with the root problem and gave me an estimate on how much to get rest of the roots taken care of for once and for all !!!
I will Definitely recommend this person and company to many others !!!
Thank u so much !!!!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Donna! We appreciate the shoutout! Our crew works hard to make sure every job is done right, and we're glad it showed.
I can’t say enough great stuff for this company. Our septic backed up and I called and spoke with the sweetest most nice and caring woman aka Marlena!!! Talk about making you forget you have an issue in the first place haha. She sent out her team Timmy and Drake which resolved the issue super quick!! Timmy and Drake were super knowledgeable, polite, and very professional!!! This team is definitely second to none!!! I will never call any other company for any septic needs. If you are looking for the best of the best then look no further because you have found them!! Thank you once again in no particular order Timmy, Drake, and Marlena! You guys rock!!
We had an issue with our tank over the weekend. We reached out to their after hours service and we were helped by Marlena. She was extremely helpful, helped trouble shoot the issue to get us through the weekend and assured that the tech would be out to our house on Monday. When Monday came around, Timmy and Drake came to our house. Timmy was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and experienced. Timmy and drake fixed our issue and left the work area perfectly clean. Very pleased with the overall customer service.
Response from the owner:Thanks for leaving us this review! We love hearing when clients found the process easy and stresfree. That's how it should be! We'll be here if you ever need us again!
Had Averett Septic out to pump my septic tank, but finding it was the real challenge. The tank was installed about five years ago by the previous owners, and the lids had been buried nearly three feet deep. Multiple people, including a plumber, had tried to locate it without success.

Then Averett sent Timmy L. I’m honestly not sure anyone else was going to find it. He located the tank quickly, minimized disturbance to my yard, and made the whole process easy. He was also able to install risers and set them perfectly below grade, making future access much easier while preserving the appearance of my yard. Professional, knowledgeable, and full of septic puns.

Glad Averett sent Timmy out. Great experience.
Response from the owner:Alex, we are stoked that we were able to come and save the day! (And glad you appreciated all those septic puns 🤣). Give us a call if you need anything in future and we will come help out however we can!
James and Maxwell done a fantastic job on replacing our drain field. Very professional and very friendly gentlemen. Thank you for your hard work .
Response from the owner:Bruce, thanks for leaving us this 5-star review! We really appreciate you taking the time to recognize our work!
We are so grateful for Averett being so accommodating to our catering operation. Tim was amazing and was able to come repair our issue outside of our kitchen's hours to keep us up and running without disrupting business operations which is HUGE to us!

Thank you Tim and Averett for exceptional service!
Response from the owner:Thanks for this review Kelsey! We definitely try to be as accomodating as we can whenever possible! We're thrilled that we could help 😀
Averett Septic has installed and has been servicing our property for 15 years. Alex is extremely knowledgable and was a great help in understanding any questions along the way. Don't hesitate to consider Averett you won't regret it.
Response from the owner:Thank-you for much for this review! We looking forward to assisting you for the next decades to come!!
Absolutely recommend. Tim in particular has been an expert in what he does and has saved our business from shutting down due to plumbing issues. We are so grateful.
Response from the owner:Thanks for trusting us with your business' plumbing needs Bill. We appreciate your support and are available if you ever need us again!
Daryl’s customer service was exceptional!
Response from the owner:Thanks for taking the team to leave us this 5-star review highlighting our fantastic team member! We really appreciate it Lisa!
Timothy came out within hours of us calling and installed two risers and a new filter after discovering our filter was clogged. It saved us for other problems. Great customer service.
Response from the owner:We couldn't be happier that you were pleased with our service Sean! We strive on making things seamless for our clients!
Timmy has been fantastic with both services and communication. We appreciate him!
Response from the owner:Thanks for leaving us this review Crystal. 👍 We really appreciate your support!
I had a septic tank sitting dormant for about 8 years. Roland provided me with information on how to prepare for an inspection. When Jordan came out, he was respectful while providing education on my septic tank's condition and proper maintenance. I am extremely satisfied and will be using them for my future needs.
Response from the owner:Thanks for leaving us this 5-star review Lisa! We look forward to serving you in the future!
Averette Septic Tank Company is the best! Tim came to my farm to put in a new water line, and a new septic line for my RV. He arrived on time, and efficiently installed both things in a very timely manner. He was pleasant, and very informative. I appreciate the great work he did! I would recommend this company for any plumbing, or septic needs you may have. I am very satisfied!
Response from the owner:Linda, we couldn't be happier that you were pleased with our work! Thanks for recommending us!
Averett now has plumbing service. Tim the plumber came to my home, found a leak in the wall and manage to fix it without tearing out that wall. He also fixed a toilet floor bracket and installed a shower head for good measure. The price was very reasonable, there was no mess to clean up and Tim is a very pleasant person. Try Averett's plumbing when you need service. The estimate was free.
Response from the owner:Thanks for leaving us this review Charles. We are pleased that you appreciated the service. Give us a call if you ever need our help again!
Daryl and Carl arrived a bit early to pump the tank and install new risers. Professional and neighborly service from Averett. Thank you gentlemen!
Response from the owner:We are very glad that your experience went well Esper and we appreciate you taking the time to leave us this 5-star review.
Called the 24 hour emergency services phone line. Jerome answered all of our questions and provided information about scheduling next day services. Called at 7:00 a.m. - had a gentleman out to service the home by 8:45 a.m. Clogged filter. Appreciate Jerome for his guidance and assistance and to the person who came to service the system. Maintenance plan was renewed!
Response from the owner:We're glad we could help with your septic situation, Roberta! Thanks for giving us five stars.
Had my septic pumped and had tank caps installed. Their turn around time was great and Timmy (who installed the caps) was fantastic! Not only did he do a stellar job installing the risers without issue, but he also took the time to use the grass that was dug up and lay them around my yard, as well as neatly add the extra dirt back into my flower beds.
Response from the owner:Jessie, your review made our day! Thank you for describing the quality work that Timmy provided for your septic tank as well as his conscientious care for your entire yard. We pride ourselves on taking great care of our customers, so we hope you'll give us a call back whenever we may be of further assistance.
Chris was early to the appointment, professional, very knowledgeable and courteous. I would highly recommend this company.
I had Ron and Tim over today to assist. I have always said its how you address little things that makes a loyal customer. These Gentlemen have made a customer of me while i have this house. They go above and beyond and are truly interested in taking care of a problem.
Response from the owner:We couldn't be happier to hear this feedback, Sean! Thank you for sharing how impressed you have been with Ron and Tim's exceptional service, and rest assured that we will continue to provide this same level of outstanding care going forward. Give us a call anytime!
Second time using Averett. Technicians Josh and Chris were very prompt, took their time to answer all of my questions, showed me what they were talking about at the tank, and did the job quickly of pumping my tank. Bad news is I need a new drain field which I sadly was expecting. Good news is the septic tank is in "real good" condition. Time to get a drain field replacement quote :-).

12/10/25 - Don't see how I can add another review so editing. I went with Averett's quote for my new drain field. Kmart, Alex, and James came out today and installed my new drain field. They did a great job, were on time, took the time to answer any questions I had (it was interesting to watch), and completed it in the day it was scheduled. Thanks!
Response from the owner:That’s what we love to hear! Thanks for trusting our team!
Great people super helpful, hard to find a reliable company nowadays I’d like to give a special thanks to Kaleb again man.
Response from the owner:Thanks for giving us five stars! We appreciate your feedback.
I had risers put in flush with the ground. Tim, the guy that did the installation was great. He went above and beyond and explained some things to me that were very educational.
Response from the owner:Nathan, we are delighted to hear of your recent installation and Tim's above-and-beyond assistance! Thank you for choosing us for your septic system needs and for sharing this great feedback today.
Averett Septic Tank Company was very polite and punctual. I want to call out Alex Jordan. I schedule an appointment, and Alex came to Lake Placid to evaluate a picture I sent them of my driveway septic tank cover. Alex immediate diagnosed and determined a corrective action to get my tank pumped!
His contacts and resources were a great help! On Monday, a young healthy man (I think his name is Josh) came to my place and removed the 3/4" metal plate that Alex procured to pump my tank.
My tank was a mess; it hadn't been pumped in over 20 years.
I highly recommend Averett Septic Tank Company, Alex and Josh! I would have added some photo; Josh took a bunch for my file.
Response from the owner:We're glad we could help with your septic system, Paul! We appreciate your kind review.
