Septic Tank Cleaning
Starting at $325
About This Service
A septic tank cleaning is a more thorough process than a basic pump-out. We remove accumulated waste, rinse the tank interior, and ensure that sludge and scum layers are fully cleared. This service is ideal for tanks that have gone too long between pump-outs or are showing signs of heavy buildup. A clean tank operates more efficiently and helps protect your drain field from premature failure. If you are not sure where your tank is located or the lid is buried, we handle tank locating and lid excavation as part of the job for a small additional fee.

Initial Pump-Out
We start by removing the bulk of the waste from the tank, just like a standard pump-out.
Rinse and Agitate
We rinse the interior walls and floor of the tank to dislodge clinging sludge and scum layers.
Final Extraction
All loosened material is pumped out for a clean tank that operates at peak efficiency.
Inspection
We inspect the tank structure, baffles, and connections, and recommend any needed follow-up.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between pumping and cleaning?
Pumping removes the liquid and floating solids from the tank. Cleaning goes further by rinsing the tank interior and clearing built-up sludge and scum layers for a more thorough result.
When should I get a full cleaning instead of a pump-out?
A full cleaning is recommended if your tank has gone more than 5 years without service, if you notice slow drains or odors, or if a previous technician noted heavy buildup.
