The cost of pumping a septic tank depends:

  • On the size of your septic tank.

(The actual average price just for pumping out the tank ranges from $350 to $750. Once the sewage is pumped out, the pumper has to pay by the gallon to dispose of the septic sewage at a specific certified waste facility, so don’t be deceived by extremely low pumping price offers.) 

  • On the contents of your septic tank.

(There could be additional charges if your tank is overfilled or has excessive solids)

  • On the condition of your septic tank.

(If you need repairs like replacing a baffle or cleaning a filter, there could be additional fees.
