Why Septic Pumping Is Essential
Your septic tank collects and holds wastewater solids, allowing the liquid to drain into the leach field. Over time, solids build up and need to be pumped out. Without regular cleaning, your system can fail — causing backups, foul odors and costly repairs.
Professional septic pumping:
Prevents sewage backups and overflows
Protects the health of your drain field
Extends the life of your system
Avoids costly emergency repairs
Keeps your property safe and sanitary
If it has been more than 3–5 years since your last pump — or if you are noticing warning signs — it’s time to call Chad Davis Contracting.
Our Septic Services
We provide full-service septic pumping and maintenance for systems of all sizes.
Septic Tank Pumping
We pump out residential and commercial septic tanks using powerful vacuum equipment. Our team removes all waste, checks sludge levels and ensures your tank is ready for continued use.
Emergency Septic Service
Septic backups are serious. We respond quickly to calls for overflows, clogs or odors, and restore your system to working condition before damage spreads.
Septic System Inspections
We offer basic inspections during pumping to help identify potential issues. If we notice cracks, blockages or poor flow, we’ll inform you right away.
Septic Cleaning and Maintenance
In addition to pumping, we offer cleaning services to remove grease, soap residue and other buildup that can reduce your system’s effectiveness.
Tank Access and Risers
If your tank is buried deep or lacks easy access, we can install risers to make future service easier and reduce lawn disruption.
When to Schedule Septic Pumping
The timing depends on your tank size, household usage and system condition. On average, we recommend:
Every 3–5 years for a typical home
Every 1–2 years for larger families or high usage
Immediately if you notice slow drains, gurgling sounds, or foul smells
If you are unsure of your last service date, we can inspect and recommend the right schedule for your property.
