Septic Tank Pumping in Henniker, NH
With septic systems and septic tanks being some of the most costly upkeep to a home, most NH homeowners are trying to keep their systems healthy to last as long as possible — and we understand why! Our family-owned company has been installing septic around the Henniker area for over 60 years. We’re proud that some of our septic systems are still working well today.
The Townes team is here to help you keep your home running efficiently and take care of any issues that might appear. We provide regularly scheduled septic service to avoid any unpleasant emergencies.
To help your septic system stay healthy for generations, you need three things —
Regular septic tank pumping. Having it completed at least every 2 to 3 years ensures that the tank will not be overburdened. When our team completes a septic service, we check everything and update you on the condition of your septic system and recommend a custom service plan for you based on your water usage.
A great septic system. Having the proper septic system installation for your land and home is essential to help your system last for years to come.
Enough aggregate. Incorporating a generous amount of aggregate helps your field drain well and operate through our many days of rain and snow! Thankfully, we own and operate an aggregate pit, passing savings onto our clients!
What’s included in septic pumping?
Here at Townes Septic Service, our service offers more than just septic tank pumping. We provide a full-service tune-up and inspection during the pumping — so you will be left with a cleaner tank!
Our standard septic pumping includes —
Inspection of the baffles and condition of the tank.
Sludge scrub to make sure the heavy sludge IS removed from the bottom of the tank.
Core sampling to check scum, effluent, and sludge layer thickness. This practice helps us understand how your family is using the system.
Underground locating of hard-to-find tanks.
Filter cleaning (if present).
Riser and lid installations and repairs.
Repairs of the baffles and the pump itself as needed.
How often should a septic tank be pumped?
The EPA recommends that septic tanks be serviced every 2-3 years — but depending on the condition of the system and water usage, we may recommend that you have your tank pumped more often to avoid extensive issues.
What is the septic tank pumping cost?
The national average for septic cleaning can run about $350. But, several factors go into the pricing, including the tank’s size, how much water your family uses, and any problems found during the tank servicing.
Thankfully, having a septic tank means that you don’t have a city sewage bill, but we recommend budgeting that money away for routine septic tank pumping or any issues that may come up. The worst thing that can happen to your tank is forgetting about it — but planning for proper upkeep can help it last for years to come!
