Septic Tank Pumping

Many Roto-Rooter locations have specially equipped pump trucks to remove all the waste from your septic tank and haul it away to a licensed waste receiving center to ensure it is safely and legally processed without risk to the environment.

Roto-Rooter can also locate your septic tank’s lid, which must be opened so that a pump hose can be pushed inside the tank before the vacuum truck can suck out the waste from your septic tank. The septic tank lid is usually several inches below ground and it may be difficult to find unless its location is marked with a stake or utility flag.

Maintenance & Repairs

Roto-Rooter locations that provide septic tank pumping service, may also provide septic tank maintenance and repair services too. Roto-Rooter follows all local plumbing codes and environmental laws when it comes to septic tanks. Since these are specialized services, be sure to check with your local Roto-Rooter location about which septic tank services they offer in your community.

Pay Attention to These Symptoms

Homeowners with septic tanks should be aware of common signs that are symptomatic of septic tank problems:

  • Slow drains are often the earliest sign that something is amiss with your septic tank or drain system.
  • Pay attention to how quickly your toilet empties during a flush. Slow flushes are a strong indicator that the septic tank is struggling.,
  • Sewage odors in your home or yard are indicative of septic tank trouble.
  • Watch for pooling sewage in the yard, which could indicate your septic tank is full or its lateral drain field is damaged.

The scheduling procedure was flawless and well-executed. My technician was excellent! He was prompt, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable and informative on all aspects of my septic tank and plumbing systems. All while being very friendly and personable. I now know what I'm dealing with for the future. I only wish I had that done during the home inspection two months ago. Leo W

We had a big plumbing/septic tank back up and Roto-Rooter was SO awesome!! They took my call in the evening, scheduled the technicians for the following morning, they arrived and knew exactly what the issue was. They had us fixed up within an hour and we could not be more pleased with the level of knowledge and experience! We'd recommend the company to anyone. Cash H

Your technician was great. He was friendly, instructive, quick, efficient, clean, and professional late on Sunday when most people want to be somewhere else besides a septic tank. Paige F
