To enjoy their own personal paradise, many Hawaii residents decide to live outside of the densely populated cities, necessitating the need for their own septic system. Although septic tanks are effective and convenient, they do need regular maintenance in order to stay functional.

To help us to understand septic service a little better, we turned to the experts at Bob's Sweetwater Pumping Service. Since their inception over ten years ago, these pumping contractors have been providing residents of the Kamuela, HI, area with fast, effective septic repairs and service. They’re here to explain three questions you should ask your pumping contractor.

What Is Included?

Before you schedule an appointment with a pumping contractor, ask what is included in the service call. For example, while many professionals offer services like pressure tests and backfill inspections as part of their normal service, some companies mainly focus on removing solids from your septic tank. By asking what is included, you can get a better deal on the service call and plan for the appointment.  

How Does My System Look?

After you find a great business to pump your septic tank, talk with them about the current status of your system. Set aside time during the day of your service so that you can be available to talk with professionals about the condition of your tank. Being able to identify problems early could help you budget for future repairs.

When Should I Schedule My Next Service?

Before your pumping contractors leave, make sure that you understand when to schedule your next service. Tank pumping timetables vary depending on the size and condition of your tank and the size of your household.

If you suspect that your septic tank has been having problems, call in the services of a professional pumping contractor. By carefully evaluating the condition of your tank and removing excess solid material, these professionals can help your system run well—saving you time and money.
