Regular residential septic pumping at your home can help you avoid costly damages caused by sewage backups and other septic problems.
When was the last time that your septic tank was pumped out and cleaned at your home in Lake Wales, Florida? If you don’t know the answer to that question, it’s probably time to call us here at Averett Septic Tank Co Inc. We have been providing thorough residential septic plumping for customers in this area since 1958. Regular residential septic pumping is key to removing buildup in your tank and avoiding unfortunate situations like sewage backing up into your home and causing damage.
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!
“The guy who came out was very knowledgeable and offered a suggestion as to how to take care of the tank in the future. He was very careful to not cause any unnecessary damage to the yard in the area where our tank is. We are very pleased!!!”

We Make Septic Pumping Quick and Simple
We often get asked how often you should have residential septic pumping completed, but every septic system is different, so we prefer to inspect your property and septic system before giving an answer. It can vary widely depending on how many people reside in your home and the size tank you have. If it’s time for your next residential septic pumping, call us today to get on our schedule.
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.

Why Choose Averett Septic Tank Co Inc.?

Incredible experience start to finish.Called and made an initial appointment to check out a sunken area where the septic tank sat. The manager called me a few days later to let me know they couldn’t make it on time because they were servicing houses affected by Hurricane Ian. Respect the heck out of that.Barry and Johnathon came out today to install the new drain field and did an amazing job. Finished the job in 3 hours and talked to me during the process — giving me pointers on how to protect it long-term.This company was not only professional, but courteous and respectful throughout the entire process. I would recommend them to anyone that needs servicing to their septic tank or drain field.

I CAN NOT RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGHI called SEVEN companies today (Friday morning) and was shut down by all of them, then I called Averett. They were there on time as scheduled the same day which was a few hours later, they worked quickly and got my septic pumped out and replaced my pump within a couple hours. Parts available and ready, no extra time neededI was at work and they were very friendly to my wife and explained all the details which I greatly appreciate from anyone doing service at home when I'm gone. Great attitudes on the phone and in person, ready to work and ready to make money! Fair pricing on everything. 10/10 will be calling them again for future services.Thank you again guys!

Sonny scheduled our recent emergency, all toilets and drains were backing up into the house. Jacob came out that day, took care of the situation, explained why it happened and what we can do to ensure it will never happen again. I was out if town so my wife and family were living with this Averett saved the day and Jacob was a hard and diligent worker. Averett is the best.

Averett recently replaced our drain field and they were exceptional from start to finish. They committed and stuck to our original install date with no delays, offered to pump our old tank in between if needed, were there on time the day of and showed up fully prepared, working together like a well oiled machine. They were able to provide a rough timeline for the day which was important to us for planning purposes and even finished slightly earlier than anticipated. All interactions with various employees the day of was positive and professional. Jerome managed our project and was great to work with as well. We were extremely happy with our experience and highly recommend them.

My septic lines failed. Averett employees were prompt, professional, and attentive, answering all of my questions (I ask lot of those!). Their estimate competitive and detailed. They did NOT try to upsell or do unnecessary work. They made me feel welcome when I watched them work and they answered questions along the way (yep, more questions, haha). They focused on quality and customer care. They even pumped the tank (at no additional charge) so it wouldn't back up while waiting for the repair date. I plan to use them again and have already recommended them to friends. Thank you, Scott (sales person) for overseeing this repair project and thank you to the rest of the Averett employees who helped make this a positive experience.

Needed my septic tank pumped at my house. Heard many good things about Averett. Gave them a call and they came out and provided excellent service! Johnnie was very knowledgeable and even recommended some expensive yet effective liquid bacteria that will greatly extend the life of my drain field and help with my tank. I was very pleased and will definitely be recommending them to my friends and family! Remember, you get what you pay for. Don't call some fly by night, shady company because they are the cheapest around.. Call Averett!

I was in a tight spot with a full septic tank on a weekend. Everyone else could only "maybe" squeeze me in on tuesday, but Averett had my back. Sent their driver Johnnie and his partner (whose name I didnt catch) out on a sunday morning for a fast, friendly, and professional pump out. Everythings back to normal now. Thanks Averett and Johnnie and co for helping us out!

Started noticing our drains were slowly draining and knew we were about to have some septic issues! Being fairly new to Florida, I asked a coworker who to use for septic pumping and possible repairs. They gave a business name and called them. They told me they were about a week or so out but recommend Averett. That was very nice of them so I called Averett. Glad I did! I called Monday afternoon and they were out Wednesday morning at the time they said they would be here. Scott showed up and I told him the problems I was having. He got to work immediately and found the location of both septic tanks. Fixed a clogged pump, cleaned out a full tank, inspected the other tank and cleaned out the filter and made sure everything was working properly. Scott was extremely professional and answered all my questions. The cost was less than what was originally quoted when I called. (The office personnel were extremely nice and professional also! Talked to a real person the entire time and not a machine) I added an extension lid to the tank to make it easier to clean in the future. Price was right and Scott was able to save me some money. Highly recommend Averett for anyone needing septic service! I will definitely use them again and put their number in my phone in case of an emergency! Thank you Scott and Averey Septic Tank for being quick to fix my problem!

I can’t say enough good things about the experience I had with Averett today. Late morning Saturday my wife comes out to the garage to inform me that all drains are backing up, nearly losing my mind because it is the weekend I called Averett. The phone number went to an actual employee and not a call service, dispatch was able to get Billy out to my home later that afternoon. Billy arrived right on time, located the septic in seconds and reviewed all possible scenarios. As luck would have it my tank was just VERY full. Billy went straight to work and my plumbing was up and functioning properly in no time. Billy was courteous and professional, a great representative for his company. The charge was slightly greater than a regular pump because it was the weekend but I without a doubt got my money’s worth. I will definitely be recommending Averett to all those in need of septic service and will look to them for any needs in the future. Thanks again to Averett and Billy for saving the day!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with this company and have already told my friends and family who to call if they need septic service. In the past I have had some not so pleasant and unprofessional experiences with other septic companies but from now on I know who to call. I called early one morning and Scott showed up on time and couldn’t have been more helpful and kind. If you need your septic serviced give these guys a call, you won’t regret it.

Called Averitt in desperate need of having my septic tank pumped and filter unclogged. They answered the phone before 7am and had someone at my home by noon. Awesome service. Price was lower than what we had paid in the past. Whole expierence was seemless and easy. Thanks so much. I would highly recommend using this company and will be doing so in the future!

Making the decision to have the work completed by Averett was the best decision I made! I cannot say enough great things about Jerome… He is such a great guy and extremely professional! The installer Tony & his helper Oliver were great as well - They arrived and immediately went to work and did not stop until the job was complete! Same day service install & no inconveniences on me. KUDOS to all involved!!! I am a VERY satisfied customer - Thank you again!

Mike professionally cleaned out my septic and is a great member of the Averett Septic crew. He values his work and goes above, and beyond to get it done right the first time, he opened both ends, went above and beyond, cleaned my filter, and sealed the sides of the concrete entry ways to avoid rain water to enter, unlike the other septic company I used 6 months ago, that just sucked on go. Thanks again Mike, your the man!!!

Called to get a quote to have someone come look at my septic outlet. Greg was kind and patient on the phone asking me clarifying questions to not have me waste money to with having an agent come out. We figured somethings out, he referred me to someone that would actually help because of it not being a service the company provided. Thanks for your patience and kindness keep that up the world needs it now.

I have had Averett come out three different times. One for a pump, one for installing risers, and most recently to replace the main line going from my cleanout to the tank. Each visit, they were on time and friendly. They do the job the right way and don't over charge you.
