Crud Busting (Tank Mixing)
Starting at $75
About This Service
Crud Busting is our tank mixing and agitation service. Over time, thick sludge and hardened crud can build up on the bottom and sides of your septic tank, making a standard pump-out less effective. Our Crud Busting process uses high-pressure agitation to break up and suspend that stubborn material so it can be fully pumped out. This service is especially recommended for tanks that have not been serviced in many years or have visible signs of heavy buildup.
What Is Included

Frequently Asked Questions
What is crud busting?
Crud busting is a high-pressure agitation process that breaks up hardened sludge and settled solids at the bottom of your tank. This material is too thick for standard pumping to remove effectively.
Does every tank need crud busting?
No. Crud busting is most beneficial for tanks that have gone many years without service or show signs of heavy buildup. We will recommend it during your pump-out if we see it is needed.
