What Is Septic Tank Cleaning?

Septic tank cleaning (also called septic pumping) involves removing the buildup of solids and sludge from your tank. Over time, waste accumulates in the tank and must be removed to prevent backups, blockages, and drain field damage.

Cleaning includes:


  • Pumping out solids, scum, and sludge

  • Inspecting baffles and tank condition

  • Checking for leaks or damage

  • Ensuring system functionality

If it’s been more than 3 years since your last service—or you’re unsure when it was done—give Jones Septic a call for a quick, affordable cleaning.

Signs Your Septic Tank Needs Cleaning

Don’t wait for an emergency. Watch for these common signs:


  • Slow drains or frequent clogs

  • Sewage odors inside or outside the home

  • Pooling water or soggy ground near the tank or drain field

  • Sewage backing up into sinks, tubs, or toilets

  • Toilets flushing slower than usual

If you notice any of these, your tank could be full—and it needs immediate attention.

  • Household size

  • Tank capacity

  • Daily water usage

  • Garbage disposal use
