Homeowners on septic in DuPont, WA can now breathe easy. Upfront Septic is here to provide excellent septic pumping, maintenance, and service for all homeowners in DuPont and the surrounding areas in Pierce County. Although DuPont is on the edge of Pierce, neighboring Lacey which is in Thurston, Upfront Septic still services this area and other areas of the Puget Sound. Despite DuPont’s proximity to large communities like Lakewood, Lacey, and Joint Base Lewis-McChord, many of the homes in this area are still on septic, and not just rural ones. Even some suburban and modern neighborhoods are still on septic, as city sewer expansion doesn’t always keep up with housing developments, especially in a rapidly growing area like Pierce County which is almost to 1 million residents as of 2021. Our DuPont septic tank pumping service is top-notch; even if you need septic tank cleaning, repair, or emergency sewage help, we’re there to help. It’s important to get your septic system pump done regularly to avoid overloading the system; a full septic tank can mean a sewage disaster for you as a homeowner. We recommend getting your sewage tank pumped every three years. Upfront Septic is the best septic company to choose for your needs in DuPont or any other city in Pierce County.
We are fully licensed and insured, and make sure every one of our technicians is extremely well trained and equipped to handle your septic system needs, whether it’s a routine pumping or a more complex issue. We also charge reasonable prices and do exactly what we promised to do, without vaguely described additional fees or doing extra work without your knowledge and charging you for it. If we encounter a larger problem while doing standard pumping, inspection or maintenance, we will immediately inform you of what the issue is and how much repairing it would add to your original estimate. We then only do the actual work to repair it once you approve. Because of this policy we hold to, it means that you can trust our technicians’ advice for what needs to be repaired right away, and what can be put off until next time.

A flooded Auburn system with effluent surfacing from both the primary and the reserve drainfield. The alarm panel showed the timer dosing for 12 minutes every hour, which was reset to the as-built settings, and 3,500 gallons were pumped across the trash tank, septic tank and pump tank.
A Gig Harbor homeowner trying us after being let down by their previous company. Routine pumping plus an O&M inspection: approximately 500 gallons from the trash tank, a gap found where the mainline enters it, and a two-amp fuse that blew again as soon as it was replaced — an electrical fault still to be traced.
A Renton customer called us after another company reported the septic pump had failed. We arrived to a high-level alarm and a flooded system, found both baffles in good condition, and pumped approximately 1,300 gallons in total — 1,000 from the septic tank and 300 from the pump tank — to bring the flooding down and evaluate the system.

A two-compartment tank in Roy with no risers, so direct access was needed. Both baffles were in good condition and the tank showed no major deterioration. We crust busted and pumped approximately 1,125 gallons, with no further work recommended.

Most residential septic pumping appointments take roughly 30 minutes to two hours, but the actual time depends on the tank size, how easy the tank is to reach, its condition, and how much has built up inside it.
Many Charmin products break down with water and suit a well-maintained septic system, but the product, the amount used and the condition of your tank all matter. What to look for, why flushable wipes are a different question, and when the paper is not the real problem.
