Our Septic Pumping Process

When we come to your location to pump your septic tank, we won’t merely pump out the waste from your tank and then leave. Instead, when we perform septic pumping, our technicians will:

Locate the tank and uncover both sides of the tank
Pump out the entire contents of the septic tank and thoroughly clean it out
Check the structure of the tank and determine if any structural issues exist
Clean the filter, a task which should be performed approximately once a year

We’ve been pumping septic tanks since 1958, so you can trust us for your septic pumping needs.

We encourage you to keep in mind that how often you need to get your septic tank pumped varies depending on several different factors, such as how many people live in your household or visit your business’ location and the size of your septic tank. Because we are dedicated to client education, we will help you determine how often you should turn to us for septic pumping, although it is generally recommended that the septic tank is pumped every three to five years.

Sometimes, life gets in the way and you need septic pumping services sooner rather than later. There are several signs you should watch out for that indicate you need to give us a call to come and pump out your tank. For example, if you can smell strong odors coming from the area surrounding your septic tank, it’s best to call us to come and check out your system. You should also call us for septic pumping services if water has started to pool up in the area near your tank, your drains are slower than normal, or sewage has started to back up in your sinks, toilets, or showers.

We’ll respond to your request with urgency and provide the same great level of service we’re known for throughout the Lakeland area. We’ll also work hard to exceed your expectations by providing reliable recommendations, helpful suggestions for the future, and excellent workmanship.

Signs You Need to Pump Your Septic Tank

On top of knowing when to have septic pumping done, you should also be aware of things you can do to ease stress on your septic system. For instance, you should try to limit excessive water usage throughout the day by spacing out showers and loads of laundry. You should also consider installing a grease trap to keep grease, oils, and fats out of your system and be very diligent about only flushing toilet paper down the toilet.

FAQs About Septic Pumping

Keeping up with septic pumping is one of the simplest ways to prevent problems, maximize the lifespan of your septic system, and ensure that everything is working reliably.

Hidden

What happens during a septic pumping service?

Septic pumping involves uncovering the tank, pumping out all contents, and cleaning it thoroughly. We also check the tank’s structure for any potential issues and clean the filter if needed. This full-service approach helps to catch problems early.

What are the signs that my septic tank needs pumping?

There are a few clear warning signs to watch for around your home. Slow drains, sewage backups, or strong odors near the tank area mean it’s time for service.

Why is septic pumping important?

Routine septic pumping helps prevent system failure and costly damage. Staying on schedule with proactive maintenance is much easier than dealing with an emergency later.

What should I avoid putting into my septic system?

Only waste and toilet paper should go down your drains and toilets. Items like wipes, paper towels, grease, and hygiene products don’t break down properly and can cause clogs.

What factors affect how quickly my tank fills up?

Household size is one of the biggest factors, but it’s not the only one. Water usage habits, the size of your septic tank, and what goes down your drains all matter. For example, frequent laundry or long showers increase system use, so it will impact when you need your septic tank pumped.

“I was distraught with a septic backup that happened on the 4th of July. I called several places, most with no answer, but one actually told me to call Averett Septic Tank Co Inc. That's good when the competition recommends you! Anyway, they were at my home in less than two hours. They fixed my issues and explained what some of our issues were. They also educated us on things that we could do differently to help us in the future. Thank you so much for your customer service and giving up your holiday to fix my septic tank!
