How much does it cost to Pump a Septic Tank?
The way we do it is charge you $115 for the job and .16c per gallon to pay the dump fees. The way it would work out for most people is that you would have either a 1000 gallon septic tank or a 1250 gallon septic tank.
The 1000 gallon septic tank is the smallest tank allowed in Pima County for all new construction -- no matter if it's a one bedroom guest house.
An average 3 bedroom two bath home would have a 1000 gallon septic tank and so your disposal fees to the dump are $160.
As you can see it's more expensive to get rid of it than for us to come out. Unfortunately that waste has to go somewhere and we get charged for it.
If you call around and find something better, please don't hesitate to call us, ok? I would hate to lose a job to someone for a few dollars. We want you to be our customer for as long as you own that home and will price match any competitor. Fair Enough?
If you want more information, or you'd like to book your job online you can go to http://www.tucsonsepticpumping.com or give us a call at 520-449-5057.

How we uncover a septic tank
Just another short post I thought of. A lot of people ask about what's involved to uncover a septic tank. Sometimes it's not quite as easy as you think. I wanted to ad a link to a short 3 minute video of a job we did that serves as a good example. I think once you watch that video you will see that trying to dig up a tank with a shovel can be a major undertaking.
Anyway, here's that link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ta6zFVWFX1o

Wow. Has it been sometime since I have posted anything here. I was doing some of my evening duties (which are many) and found my old Blog. I couldn't believe it's been 7 years since I've posted anything here. I see that some people still actually visit this site and so I thought I'd would start once again posting updated information for you to read. Please remember that if you want to call me you can do so at 520-449-5057, or check out our website at http://www.tucsonsepticpumping.com
So, what's new over here? Well, we did finally decide to buy a larger truck and so now we have two! For us it's very exciting as we are a small family owned business.
I have decided to shift away from doing septic installations but can still help you answer questions about the process. Unfortunately after 20 years my back is shot and I just can't do it like I used to, and so...... I focus now on just septic pumping and servicing -- some small repairs but that's about it.
I would be curious to know if anyone sees this new post. If you do please just say hi so I know you are out there. If you would like me to write a post on a particular question just fire away and I will answer any questions you have in detail.
Best Regards.
David
