Project Spotlight: Tacoma Septic Tank Pumping and Inspection

Upfront Septic provided residential septic tank pumping and inspection services for a property in Tacoma, WA. Upon arrival, the customer had already exposed the first compartment of the septic tank. Our technician excavated the second compartment to provide access to the entire two-compartment tank.

The septic tank was heavily accumulated with solids, as it had not been pumped for an extended period of time. Our technician used a crust buster to break up the accumulated material and thoroughly service the tank. Due to the condition and amount of buildup inside the tank, the pumping process took considerably longer than usual.

A total of approximately 1,125 gallons was pumped from the two-compartment septic tank. The service removed accumulated waste and restored available capacity within the system, helping support continued septic system operation.

Upfront Septic completed the pumping service and accessed both compartments to provide a more thorough cleaning of the residential septic tank.
