Regular Pumping Is the Best Investment You Can Make
Your septic tank collects solid waste over time. Without regular pumping, that waste builds up, overflows into the drain field, and causes irreversible damage that can cost $10,000 or more to repair. A routine pump out every 3–5 years typically costs a fraction of that and catches issues early when they’re still inexpensive to fix.
Davis Southern Septic makes the process easy: we locate the tank, access the lids, perform a thorough pump-out, inspect the system, and leave your yard clean and tidy.
How often should you pump? The average household of 4 should pump every 3–5 years. Smaller tanks, garbage disposals, or larger households may need service more frequently. We’ll advise you after your first visit.

Riser Installation: Never Dig Again
If your tank lids are buried several feet underground, each service visit requires digging them up at additional cost and effort. We offer tank riser installation that brings the lids to ground level, making future pump-outs faster, cheaper, and less disruptive to your yard.
