How should my septic tank be pumped? Does it need to be cleaned too?

In Arizona, the year that your septic tank was installed can have a big impact on how the tank is pumped and cleaned. Over the years there have been many different styles of tanks installed, differing not only in materials but also how many lids are on the tank and how many compartments the tank is divided into. Regardless of how the tank is constructed or designed, the proper way to pump a tank is to pump it from the largest available opening which will usually be an 18″-24″ diameter lid. The confusion over pumping or cleaning a septic tanks comes in because some companies will charge one rate for pumping the water and another rate for pumping and cleaning the solids. Our rates include pumping the solids and the liquids because it is the only way to do it right.
