Maintenance – Temp
Pumping
Cleaning your septic tanks is an important part of routine septic system maintenance. Most systems should be pumped and cleaned every 1 to 3 years depending on use.
Septic tank pumping is more than just removing the water. When you hire Septic Check, we inspect the entire system in addition to cleaning your tank. We offer pumping services for septic tanks, lift stations, holding tanks, grease traps, car washes, and municipal and industrial customers as well.

Our service areas in Minnesota cover Milaca, Princeton, Zimmerman, Isle, Onamia, Aitkin, Wahkon, Garrison, and surrounding areas.
We have a well-maintained fleet for trucks to respond to almost any pumping situation.
Our scheduling and dispatch software notifies customers when the service tech in on the way and when the job is complete via email or text notification. Giving you peace of mind the job was done when you asked. This tool even allows you to see where the service tech is when they are on the way to your property.
We do more than just pump your tank; we complete a Septic Check check-up:
-
- Pump and clean septic tank and lift station
- Utilize crust buster tank agitator or back flushing to remove more solids
- Tank inspection including the baffles
- Check for infiltration
- Inspect the pump and alarm system

Drainfeild Repair:
All conventional septic systems have a finite life. Even properly used, drainfield rock eventually becomes plugged with the by-products of treating sewage. Septic systems that are used properly will still eventually fail. Replacement costs run from $7,200 to $20,000 or more in some areas.
Why Systems Fail:
-
- As systems age, a clogging mat forms where the rock and soil meet. This biomat is comprised of dead bacteria, fine solids, and live soil bacteria. It performs a vital function by holding water in the rock long enough to prevent saturation of soil below the rock.
- Over time this clogging mat gets too thick, however, and causes water to pond in the rock. Air is displaced by liquid and anaerobic conditions begin the decline of the soil treatment system.
- Even if properly designed and constructed, conventional septic systems eventually need replacement or rehabilitation. Homeowners using them within design limits can expect drainfield or mound life of 7-25 years.
- We offer system saving recovery solutions that can provide an immediate fix to your septic system and avoid replacement cost. Our service areas in Minnesota include Milaca, Princeton, Zimmerman, Isle, Onamia, Aitkin, Wahkon, Garrison, and surrounding areas. Contact us for a free site visit and estimate.
