About our service, we will do whatever we can to help save the customer money. We ourselves do not want to buy something we don’t absolutely need, so we will never try to sell you or tell you to replace something that you don’t need.
When pumping out your septic tank we will not destroy your perfectly good tank trying to open the lid or tell you that your tank needs to be replaced when it does not, in order to sell you a new one.
We have been called by customer’s that just had their tank pumped by other septic tank contractors and are still having problems. What we sometimes find is the septic tank has a baffle in it and they have never pumped out the solid sludge side of the septic tank.
Some septic contractors will only open the one side of the baffled tank, which is the liquid side, but never open and remove the solid sludge on the other side of the tank at all. When you call for a pump out we pump the entire tank all the way to the bottom. We recommend that someone be there so they can flush the toilets to ensure everything is working properly and that there is no obstruction from the toilets to the tank.
Just because your tank shows some signs of decay does not mean that your septic tank is not good and needs to be replaced. All septic tanks will show some signs of normal wear and tear. We see tanks being replace that are structurally sound and perfectly fine.
We have been called for 2nd opinions for real-estate inspections. The septic contractor doing their inspection stated they need a new tank. Upon our inspection we found that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the tank, not even the slightest decay. Saving the customer thousands of dollars in needless repairs.

SEPTIC MAINTENANCE:
Frequent septic tank pumping in Florida is critical to ensure your septic tank performs at its best potential. A septic system is designed in such a way that water passes on to the drainbed area, while solids stay in the tank. With time, sludge and scum accumulate in the septic tank, leaving the solids with little settling capacity. Due to this, the solids breach the water portion and escape into the drainbed area. This process clogs the septic tank’s distribution lines, leading to serious often hard to reverse problems. Such difficulties can only be solved through regular maintenance.
Regardless of the size of your septic tank, you have to pump it out regularly to make sure that it works effectively and lasts long. We suggest every 3-5 years. Many homeowners believe that if they have not had any problems with their septic system, they do not have to pump their tank. This is a serious misconception because as long as the system is used, materials settle at the bottom, forming sludge. Other materials like grease will float as scum. Properly designed septic tanks usually have the capacity to hold sludge for up to five years. More accumulation means that sewage will have less time to settle properly, a problem that could potentially cause backups.
