QUOTED $195 FOR SEPTIC PUMP OUT PER PHONE. CHARGED $225 . SAID IT WAS DUE TO GREASE. THEY LEFT 4 INCHES OF SLUDGE IN BOTTOM OF TANK.
SAID IT WAS NEEDED FOR THE GOOD BACTERIA IT CONTAINED. AFTER A BIT OF RESEARCH I FIND THAT A SEPTIC TANK AFTER PUMP OUT AND CLEANING SHOULD BE LEFT WITH BLACK WALLS AND BOTTOM WHICH CONTAINS ENOUGH GOOD BACTERIA. IF SLUDGE IS LEFT YOU HAVE NOT HAD A PROPER CLEANING. REASON THEY LEAVE IT IS DUE TO ITS WEIGHT AND TIME TO REMOVE. THEY PAY TO DUMP THEIR TRUCKS CONTENTS. WATCHED THE WHOLE PROCESS AND THE GUY HAD NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. DON'T LEFT SOMEONE JUST PUMP OUT LIQUID. HOPES MY EXPERIENCE WILL HELP OTHERS RECEIVE PROPER SERVICE. YA GOTTA BE THERE AND LOOK IN YOUR TANK. JUST DON'T ASSUME YOUR RECEIVING A PROPER CLEAN OUT. MAKE THEM STICK TO QUOTED PRICE ALSO.
