Skip to contentIf your septic tank isn’t cleaned, backups can happen in sinks, tubs, or toilets. This makes a huge mess and is stressful to deal with.
A full or clogged septic tank often causes strong, unpleasant smells. These odors can spread through your yard and even inside your house.
If sinks, tubs, and toilets take longer to drain, your septic tank may need cleaning. Ignoring this can lead to bigger problems later.
When tanks get too full, wastewater may rise to the surface. It can cause flooding in parts of your property.
Putting off septic tank cleaning can cause serious damage. You may end up paying far more than regular maintenance would cost.
A clogged tank can leak harmful bacteria into the soil or water. This puts your family, pets, and property at risk of sickness and unsafe conditions.

Dwayne handled our septic inspection and was awesome to work with—professional, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. He told it like it is, no sugarcoating, which I really appreciated. You can tell he knows his stuff and cares about doing the job right. Would absolutely recommend. Peter Stika2025-03-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thorough job done. Vinny and Mike took the time to apply the correct fix and educate me on our system. We had a bit of a complicated set up (to me) but they instantly worked through it. We're very happy with the work that was done. Thank you. Eric Blatz2025-03-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm so thankful to Vinny and the Busy Bee Septic and excavating team! They did an absolutely amazing job replacing our old leech field and septic and installing a brand new system. They responded quickly, gave us the best price for the job, and left the property in better shape when they left. There was a few unexpected complications because of our property and they quickly came up with solutions that both resolved the problem and kept the project well within budget. Vinny and the team were informative before and throughout the project and were very respectful of the property during construction. I highly recommend Busy Bee Septic and excavating!!

Clear pricing up front James K2025-01-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly one of the best services I had done. I had zero idea where my septic was or how it worked. The guys who came out did an amazing job finding the septic, cleaning it out and explain how the system works. Could not have asked for a better experience. They did all this in 15 degree weather at that!!! Amazing and will 100% use Busy Bee again. I completely forgot the guys names who assisted but they were amazing!!!! Bob Lawrence2025-01-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The person from Busy Bee arrive on time pump my septic advised me to put and additive to help break down septic. Very professional. Sam Weissman2025-01-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Once the weather cooperated, the guys made quick work of a big job.. septic tank pumping and replacement, inlet and outlet pipe replacement, and then their camera found an additional problem that needed to be fixed, which they did. They were very straightforward about everything they were doing, taking me through the process and even showing me the camera footage. My septic system is 1000% better after they did the work. Everyone was very cordial, from those in the office to those in the field, and efficient with their and my time. They even dug up my first distribution box to check it's health and flagged it for me at no additional cost. Hire them.

Most septic tanks should be cleaned every 3–5 years. The exact timing depends on the size of your tank, the number of people in your home, and your water use.
If a septic tank isn’t cleaned, solids build up and can clog the system. This can cause bad odors, slow drains, sewage backups, and even damage to your drain field.
Signs include slow drains, gurgling pipes, foul smells near the tank or drains, or water pooling in your yard. If you notice these, it’s time to schedule service.
Most cleanings take 1–2 hours depending on the size of the tank and how full it is. Our team works quickly and carefully to minimize disruption.
No. With the right equipment and professional service, the process is clean and safe. We make sure your property is left tidy after the job.
The cost varies based on tank size, location, and how often it has been serviced. We provide clear, upfront pricing before any work begins.
