    What Happens During a Commercial Septic Pumping Visit?

    When you book commercial septic services with Speedy Septic, we send out one of our fully prepared vans directly to your business. A technician will locate the tank and use the hose-and-truck system to vacuum solids and wastewater from your septic tank. Precision devices on our trucks measure the volume of waste removed so we can provide a precise, accurate invoice. 

    Once the tank is emptied, your technician inspects the system to make sure everything is in good condition. If anything needs work, we provide a quote and won’t proceed until we have your confirmation. Once the job is complete, we clean up and leave your business looking fresh and clean.

    How Often Should a Commercial Septic Tank Be Pumped?

    In general, commercial septic tanks should be pumped out every three to five years, depending on the size of your tank and the demands of your business. Restaurants and other high-volume businesses that add extra materials like grease may need to be pumped out more frequently, while office buildings and standard commercial spaces can often remain functional with scheduled septic pumping every five years.

    Scheduled Septic Pumping Helps Protect Business Operations

    Septic issues can be a major disruption, not to mention a health hazard. Scheduled septic pumping and septic system inspections are essential to protecting your business. Routine septic system inspections and pumping help catch issues before they become problems, preventing your system from reaching a dangerous capacity level that could disrupt your operations.
