Here is what you can expect from Express Disposals. The first step in pumping and cleaning is locating and exposing your tanks access lids. Of course you can dig them up yourself, or if you would rather, we would be more than happy to locate and uncover the lids for you for an additional fee. With the access lids uncovered and open, but before we begin pumping, we will note the liquid level of the tank in relation to the tank’s outlet pipe. A liquid level below the outlet pipe usually indicates a tank leak. A liquid level above the outlet pipe can indicate a problem with the pipe to the drainfield or the drainfield itself. Lowering a “vacuum” hose into the tanks manholes the pumping process begins. The hose is attached to a strong pump on our truck which sucks out all of the solids and liquids from your septic tank and into our service truck. At this point we can offer cleaning out your drainage line from your building commonly known as “jetting”. This process breaks away any build up that may be allowing any restriction in the drain lines to your septic tank. Our trained technician will watch for backflow from the tank outlet pipe. Significant backflow indicates a drainfield system backup. A small amount of backflow can indicate a sag in the pipe to the drainfield. Your tank will be cleaned out thoroughly. We use a tool called a septage spoon and a process known as backflushing to loosen all the sludge in the corners of the tank allowing it to be removed. The walls of the tank are sprayed with clean water ensuring a clean tank. After pumping our trained technician will check inside the empty tank and note any signs of structural damage such as an open weep hole, leaking midseam, damaged baffles, or cracks. If anything out of the ordinary is found or any sign of current or impending problems, we will notify you and offer advice on how to remedy the situation. How much can you expect to pay to have a proper job done? Depending on septic tank size and the location of your property you can expect to pay between $300 - $500 if we don’t locate the lid or provide jetting. |
