SEPTIC TANK PUMPING

Fast & Thorough Pumping

Regular septic tank pumping is essential to keep your system functioning properly and prevent backups and overflows. Our team of experts offers professional and efficient septic tank pumping services for residential and commercial properties.

Metcalf Septic Pumping cleans septic tanks and looks for any maintenance issues that need to be fixed on every tank we clean. It is important to visually inspect the inlet and outlets of the tank to make sure the system is functioning properly and avoid early failure of the system. Our septic tank pumping services are essential to maintaining a working and reliable system. If your septic tank is not regularly pumped out, sludge builds up at the bottom of the tank. This can flow into the drain fields and over time, can cause serious problems and prevent proper drainage.

Our experts will clear excess sludge from your tank to get the system working. We will also clean your filters and inspect all of your system components to make sure your septic tank system will function properly until your next service call. Also, a backed-up sewer system can cause major problems.

We may also use a snake to clear roots and other debris in the outlet drains from your home to the tank. We also look for other damages, like cracks in your septic system, to determine if any repairs are needed to extend its life.

 

Each home drain should have a “cleanout” entry point inside or outside the home. This is a pipe or a plug in the home that helps plumbers clean the home sewage line to the septic tank. If your home doesn’t have an inside plug, we can use our Transponder to locate the tank. This is a very small electronic signal emitter that we flush down the toilet and it goes to your tank – it talks to the transponder and tells us where your septic tank is located.
