What Is Septic Pumping?

Septic pumping is the process of removing the solid waste and sludge that naturally build up inside your septic tank over time. As wastewater enters the tank, solids settle to the bottom while oils and scum rise to the top. Without routine pumping, these layers grow and can cause:

• Backups into your home
• Odors inside or outdoors
• Drain field damage
• Premature system failure

Regular pumping protects your property and keeps your entire septic system functioning properly.

When Do You Need Septic Tank Pumping?

You may need septic pumping if you notice:

• Slow drains throughout the home
• Gurgling noises in sinks or toilets
• Foul odors near drains, the tank, or the yard
• Standing water over the drain field
• Higher-than-normal water usage
• It’s been more than 3–5 years since your last pump

If you’re experiencing backups or sewage overflowing inside or outside your home, call immediately for emergency septic pumping at (928) 726-1199.

Our Septic Pumping Process

Apollo’s pumping service is thorough, efficient and carried out by trained, NAWT-certified technicians. Here’s how we take care of your system:

Locate & Access the Tank: Our team safely exposes the lid if needed and identifies the tank’s condition. 

Pump Out Waste & Sludge: We use high-capacity vacuum trucks to remove all solids, liquids and buildup.

Inspect the Tank Interior: During pumping, we check for cracks, root intrusion, baffle issues, and tank integrity.

Clean the Tank Walls: A final wash removes remaining residue and prepares the system for optimal performance.

Provide Honest Feedback: You’ll receive straightforward insights about your tank, including recommended maintenance or repairs.

We finish the job cleanly and respectfully, leaving your property just as we found it.

How Often Should You Pump Your Septic Tank?

• Household size

• Water usage habits

• Garbage disposal use

• Age and condition of the system

If you’re unsure when your tank was last serviced, it’s time to schedule a pumping with Apollo.
