WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
Septic Tank Pumping
What Is The Point Of Getting Your Septic Tank Pumped?
Regardless of what type of septic system you own (whether it's an older conventional setup or a newer and efficient aerobic system), the fundamental truth remains: waste accumulates in your septic tank. This is completely intentional, but as time passes all those liquids, solids, and scum combine into what's called sludge. Yes, sludge...
That sludge can gradually slow your septic system's performance, and when those elements aren't cleared from your system, it leads to bigger headaches down the road.
Our mission with residential septic tank pumping is to maintain your system at peak performance while preventing the negative consequences of—you guessed it—sludge buildup.

How Often Should I Get My Home Septic Tank Pumped?
Every timeframe we discuss is based on general guidelines. How heavily and how frequently you use your septic system can significantly impact how often your system requires pumping. As a general rule, if you own a conventional septic system, we suggest pumping your tank every...
5 years minimum to maintain your system at peak efficiency. For aerobic systems, which represent the majority of our new septic system installations, we recommend pumping your septic tank every 3 to 5 years. Keep in mind, usage patterns can shift these timeframes.

Is Regular Residential Septic Tank Pumping Worth The Cost?
Since regular pumping is essential to maintain your septic system at its best, we make it our priority to provide you with a fair and reasonable price. Keeping your system running efficiently and preventing future problems requires a consistently scheduled...
pumpout every few years. After you provide us with your tank type and size, our mission is to always give you straightforward pricing, and never add charges once we're at your property (unless we uncover a significant amount of new information).

How Does HomeField Do Residential Septic Pumping Differently?
You'll always have a registered and trained expert on site when you call HomeField Travis County. We're meticulous, and we'll locate all your tanks, extract and clean the sludge from them, and inspect your tanks and your system for any other concerns. There's no cookie cutter service, just personalized care for you and your unique septic system.
Based on your system type, we don't always pump out your tank entirely (particularly if you have an aerobic system). Our objective is to ensure your system achieves peak performance when we finish the job, and by retaining some water, it enables your aerobic plant to sustain the right kind of bacteria you need to treat wastewater.

Showed up on time…in the middle of a severe storm and performed the work anyway. The young man had a positive attitude and the rain didn’t seem to phase him.

I called on the 16th of January in the midst of a hard freeze due to my septic system alarm going off. Even with the weather and its associated workload, the techs arrived the same day and resolved the issue. Awesome service seems to be the norm for this company and their techs!

Great service. We received service within a few hours of calling in. They came in and found the issue immediately and provided great tips and feedback. We know nothing about the septic tank so the info gathered was very helpful.
