We’ve been handling septic tank cleaning and maintenance throughout the Chicagoland area for years. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because this work matters.
Mount Greenwood properties have specific septic system needs, and we understand them. From older systems that need careful handling to newer installations requiring precise maintenance schedules, we’ve seen it all.
You get transparent pricing before we start, professional service that respects your time, and the peace of mind that comes from working with people who actually know what they’re doing.
First, we locate and access your septic tank, then inspect the system to assess current conditions and identify any potential issues before we start.
Next, we pump out all liquid and solid waste using professional equipment, then clean the tank walls and inspect the inlet and outlet baffles for proper function.
Finally, we measure sludge levels, check for any damage or wear, and provide you with a clear timeline for your next service. You get a complete picture of your system’s health and a maintenance schedule that actually makes sense.

Complete septic tank pumping and cleaning using professional-grade equipment. We remove all waste, clean tank walls, and inspect system components for proper operation.
Mount Greenwood’s soil conditions and local regulations require specific approaches to septic maintenance. We understand these requirements and ensure your system meets all local health department standards.
You also get 24/7 emergency service availability because septic problems don’t follow business hours. Our hydro jetting technology handles tough clogs and buildup that standard pumping can’t address, giving you a more thorough cleaning that lasts longer.
Most residential septic tanks in Mount Greenwood need cleaning every 3-5 years, but the exact timing depends on household size, water usage, and tank capacity. A family of four with a 1,000-gallon tank typically needs service every 3-4 years.
We measure sludge levels during each service to determine your specific timeline. Heavy water usage, garbage disposal use, or certain medications can require more frequent cleaning.
The key is staying ahead of problems rather than waiting for backups or slow drains. Regular maintenance costs far less than emergency repairs or system replacement.
Slow drains throughout your house, gurgling sounds from plumbing fixtures, or sewage odors around your drain field indicate your tank is likely full and needs immediate attention.
Standing water or wet spots over your septic system, especially with sewage odors, means waste is backing up and potentially surfacing. This requires emergency service to prevent health hazards and property damage.
If multiple fixtures back up simultaneously or you notice sewage in floor drains, don’t wait. These are clear signs your system is overwhelmed and needs professional pumping right away.
Residential septic tank cleaning in Mount Greenwood typically ranges from $300-$600, depending on tank size, access difficulty, and current waste levels. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work.
Additional costs may apply if your tank requires location services, if access is particularly difficult, or if we discover system damage during inspection. We explain all costs clearly before proceeding.
Emergency service calls may include additional fees, but we’re transparent about all pricing. Regular maintenance costs significantly less than waiting for emergency situations or major system failures.
Yes, we provide septic tank cleaning year-round in Mount Greenwood, including winter months. Professional equipment allows us to work safely even when ground conditions are challenging.
Frozen ground can make access more difficult, but we have the tools and experience to handle winter service calls. In fact, winter cleaning prevents spring problems when increased water usage can overwhelm already-full systems.
We recommend scheduling routine maintenance in fall or early winter when possible. This timing ensures your system is ready for increased holiday usage and prevents emergency calls during harsh weather.
We inspect your entire system during cleaning and document any issues we find. Minor problems like damaged baffles or loose connections can often be repaired during the same visit.
