Regularly pumping your septic tank helps prevent costly breakdowns and backups. We recommend having it pumped every 3 to 5 years. If your drains are slow or backing up, call before it gets worse.
Elsewhere in White County, we also serve Monon, Monticello, Reynolds, and Wolcott.
How often should my septic tank be pumped?
Every 3 to 5 years for most homes. The timing depends on how many people live in the house and the age and size of the tank. A larger household should plan on the shorter end.
If you wait too long, toilets can start clogging and sewage can back up into the house. Call before a small problem becomes a costly one.
How does a septic system work?
Everything that goes down your drains flows to the septic tank. Solids settle to the bottom of the tank, and the wastewater flows out to the leach field. Pumping removes the solids before they build up and cause a backup.
Where is my septic tank?
Most septic tanks sit 10 to 25 feet from the house, usually under the lawn. The lid often has to be dug up to reach it.
Can I use drain cleaner on a slow or clogged drain?
It’s best not to. Chemical drain cleaners can damage pipes and kill the bacteria in your septic tank that break down solids. Call instead and we’ll clear the line with a drain snake.

More about drain cleaningWhat customers say
“Mr. Pelsy was very professional and personable. He cleaned my septic system out and did a great job. He came when he said he would and promptly got to work. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs their septic system cleaned out.”
“Called Roger on a Saturday evening and he answered. He walked me through what the issue was. Stopped by Monday to confirm everything was correct and would work right. I’ve used him twice for my house and once for our office in town. He’s always been super nice and knowledgeable, plus he charges very fair prices for the work he does. Would recommend to anyone.”
“They came out the same day and helped me narrow it down out of three bathrooms and kitchen that was not draining properly out of the house to the tank! The price was very good also for same day service and extra assistance!”
“So thankful for the fast service. Called last night and he was here before noon today! Would recommend them to everyone in need of septic cleaning!”
“Very nice man, very professional, very prompt, good communication. Done a fabulous job for a wonderful price. If I ever need any more work done I will call. He helped me out of a tight spot. I had made an appointment with another company; they canceled and rescheduled and then never showed up. This man at Pelsy came out when he said he would and done the job at lightning speed. God bless.”
