A typical residential septic pumping includes a full tank emptying, sludge and scum removal. We also swipe the tank walls and look for broken baffles or cracks. The crew measures the waste level and records it for future reference. After the tank is clean, we refill it with water to check that the drain field is working. This whole process is done for homes in Dubuque to keep the system running smooth.

Pricing is based on the tank size and how full it is when we arrive. A 1,000-gallon tank that’s half full will cost less than a full 1,500-gallon tank. We charge a flat rate for the pump, plus a small fee for disposal of the waste. Any needed repairs, like a broken riser, are quoted separately. We give you a clear estimate before any work begins.

No, you don’t have to stay the whole time. Just make sure someone is home to give the crew access to the septic lid and a power source if needed. We’ll lock the lid back in place and clean up before we leave. If you have pets, keep them away from the work area for safety. We’ll call you when the job is finished so you know it’s done.

Most residential septic pump jobs take about 2 to 3 hours from start to finish. The time can stretch a bit if the tank is very full or if we need to do extra inspection. We’ll arrive, set up the pump, and begin draining the waste. After the tank is empty we’ll scrub the interior and run a water test. When everything checks out, we pack up and head out.

We stand behind our work with a 30-day guarantee on the pump service. If you notice a backup or a foul smell within that period, call us right away. We’ll come back to re-inspect the tank at no extra charge. The guarantee doesn’t cover damage caused by misuse or lack of regular maintenance. Keeping a schedule for pump-outs helps you stay covered under the guarantee.

Turn off any water-using appliances like dishwashers and washing machines a few hours before the pump arrives. Locate the access lid and clear any debris around it so the crew can get to it easily. Make sure pets and kids stay clear of the area for safety. If you have a backup, shut off the main water valve to stop more waste from entering the tank. Have a clear path for the truck to the septic field, removing any obstacles like lawn furniture.

We cover the greater Dubuque area and the surrounding rural communities within about a 30-mile radius. That includes neighborhoods, small towns, and farms that rely on a residential septic system. We service homes with standard 1,000- to 2,500-gallon tanks. Any property with a conventional septic layout is fair game. If you’re unsure, give us a call and we’ll confirm.

After we pump out the tank, we sweep up any spilled waste around the access port. We rinse the lid and surrounding ground with water to reduce odors. All debris from our equipment is taken away in our truck. We leave the yard looking as it did before we arrived. If you notice any lingering smell, let us know right away.
