To date there is only one septic tank gauge on the market. It’s a transponder that determines the depth of sludge and the thickness of the scum level. For a mere $900.00 it will do the job and even call my office to schedule an appointment. (No joke!) Sounds nice huh?

For $900 we can service your tank for about 10 years at today’s prices.The most common and practical way for determining when a tank should be cleaned is by time and occupancy. Here is a guide from the “Journal of Environmental Engineering”.

If you’re just not sure when or if your tank has been cleaned, here are the steps we recommend you follow.

1. Call us. We have over 15,000 homes on file. If you are the owner of the property we will be glad to give you all the information we have.

2. Call your county health department; some counties keep up with pump-outs and repairs.

3. Check with previous owner and/or the neighbors.

If you can’t determine the last cleaning by any of these means, the best thing to do is to call and set up an appointment. We can do a thorough inspection of your entire system and pump out your tank.
