Professionalism

When you hire a cesspool pumping service, expect them to send highly-trained professionals to your home. The team members have licenses and the proper certifications to work with septic systems. They should also be familiar with local, state, and federal regulations about cesspools, so you can rest assured that your system is in good hands.

Preparation

Before pumping begins, the technician should inspect your cesspool and any related components. They may also take photographs to document the condition of your system before and after pumping. The cesspool contractor brings all necessary equipment and supplies, such as a truck-mounted pumping unit, an excavation device, and hoses.

Pumping

The technician will use the truck-mounted unit to pump out the contents of your cesspool. They may also inspect and clean any filters and the cesspool walls. The technician will then use an inspection cover or patch any cracks caused by wear and tear over time.

Maintenance and Assessment

After the cesspool is pumped, expect your cesspool contractor to provide you with detailed maintenance instructions, such as how often it should be pumped and other necessary precautions. You may also receive an assessment of your system's condition as well as advice on how to extend its life and keep it functioning properly. Small-capacity cesspools may be regulated by state and local governmental agencies, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Therefore, it's important to keep up with regular maintenance and inspections to ensure your system's longevity.

Disposal

The technician will also dispose of the wastewater in a safe manner. Many cesspool services will bring their own waste disposal tankers. Others may use a local wastewater treatment plant or another approved facility.

From inspections and pumping to maintenance advice and disposal, they have the trained personnel and the necessary equipment to ensure your cesspool remains in optimal condition.
