  2. Households with 3-5 people should pump every 2-4 years
  3. Larger households or high-usage systems may require pumping annually

  • Extends the Lifespan of Your Septic System — Proper maintenance can add years to your system's life, saving you money in the long run.
  • Ensures Proper Wastewater Filtration — A well-maintained tank allows for effective separation and treatment of wastewater, protecting your property and the environment.

What People Are Saying

“We were tired of dealing with a discount pumper who just wasn't getting the job done! Our septic system was backing up every 3 to 6 months. Finally, we called Septic Workz. They used the Crust Buster to get all the solids out and then added commercial chemicals to help balance our tank. Three years later, we still haven't experienced any backups!”
