Septic Pumping
If you own a property that uses a septic system, regular septic pumping should be a top priority for your ongoing maintenance. If not pumped periodically, septic tanks can back up and eventually fail. A backed-up septic tank can contaminate your private well, increasing your risk of waterborne diseases.
Septic tank pumping can be a messy job. Septic tanks contain toxic gases, and exposure can cause serious health problems. So, why get your hands dirty when help is just a phone call away? L.J. Construction specializes in septic system maintenance near you in Sebastopol. We are committed to helping our customers keep their septic tanks healthy. Our septic tank technicians have years of experience pumping and cleaning different types of septic tanks.

Frequently Asked Questions: Septic Pumping
How often should I get my septic tank pumped?
Most septic systems should be pumped every 3–5 years, but it really depends on the size of your tank and how many people live in your household. If you’re not sure, give us a call. At L.J. Construction, we’ve been maintaining septic systems since 1966, and we’re happy to give you honest advice based on real experience.
What are the signs my septic tank needs to be pumped?
Look out for slow drains, sewage smells, pooling water in your yard, or gurgling sounds in your pipes. These are all early warning signs your tank might be full or backing up. Ignoring these signs can lead to bigger, more expensive problems down the road.
What happens if I don’t pump my septic tank?
If your tank gets too full, it can overflow into your yard or even back up into your home. Worse, it could contaminate your well water or local groundwater. Pumping your septic tank is a small job compared to fixing a failed system or dealing with health hazards.
Is septic tank pumping safe to do myself?
Short answer: no. Septic tanks contain harmful gases and bacteria that can be dangerous if you’re not properly trained. We use the right equipment and safety protocols to do the job safely and effectively. Plus, our team knows how to spot problems early—something you might miss without experience.
Can you pump large or hard-to-reach septic tanks?
Yes, absolutely. Our pumping truck can handle up to 2,500 gallons, and our 200-foot hose allows us to reach tanks even if they’re far from the house. Whether it’s a small residential system or a larger commercial one, we’ve got the tools and crew to handle it.
