We can typically pump a septic tank in 30-60 minutes.

If the waste is not removed in most cases the septic tank can overflow or cause buildup which results in a blockage. These blockages result in tank leaks and the drain field causing damage to your soil to the point that plants and vegetation are not able to receive the water they need to grow. Additionally, the sewage can back up into your home or rise up to the surface of your lawn.
