Septic Tank Pumping, Lakeland, FL

We provide reliable and affordable septic tank pumping services for clients in Lakeland.

Septic Tank Pumping in Lakeland – Many homeowners like their septic system to stay out of sight and out of mind, but it is a vital part of your home and needs care and upkeep. The good news is that with a little maintenance, such as septic tank pumping, your system can work well for years to come.

Your septic system performs an important job for your household, and it does so in a fairly simple way. Wastewater from a sink, toilet, shower, or washing machine flows out of your home into the septic tank. Then, the heavier solids sink to the bottom as sludge and smaller bits float to the top as scum. Naturally occurring bacteria work to break down the solids and scum, and the water flows out through a filter into the drainage field, where bacteria in the soil further purify the water.

To keep this useful system working well, there are just a few parts that need maintenance every few years. The first is the tank. Over time, sludge and scum accumulate and get too close to the outlet opening. When this happens, the tank needs to be pumped by a professional, and the filter needs cleaning to keep it clear. For the average-sized household, this should be done every 3 to 5 years. With regular septic tank pumping, you will avoid any blockages that could cause your whole system to fail, costing you thousands of dollars in replacement fees.

So when you need a septic tank pumping in Lakeland, Florida, give us a call at Lee Kirk & Sons Septic, and we’ll give you a free filter cleaning when we pump your septic tank!

FAQs About Septic Tank Pumping

It is only natural to have questions about septic tank pumping, especially if you are new to having this type of waste disposal system. At Lee Kirk & Sons Septic, we serve the Lakeland, Florida area with exceptional septic services and believe it is our duty to never leave a customer with unanswered questions. Whether you have basic, general questions or want to know all the facts about septic tank pumping, rest assured we’ll share our decades of experience and knowledge to answer them. Here are a few common questions we have been asked in the past:

How often should I get my septic tank pumped?

The average is every 3 to 5 years; however, you might not want to wait that long if you have an older septic system, have a large family or frequent overnight guests, or just want complete peace of mind that you won’t have a sewage backup in your home or environmental damage because you waited too long between service visits. If you are new to septic system use, you might also want to have it done sooner so we can point out if you need to make some changes in what you are sending to the septic tank.

How can I take care of my system between visits?

Most importantly, you should avoid the use of anti-bacterial soaps and cleaning products and flushing anything that isn’t biodegradable. Not everything that says it is safe for septic system truly is, so when in doubt, don’t hesitate to ask us!

How long does septic tank pumping take?

It depends on how much waste has collected in the tank and whether we find any issues that need to be addressed. Generally speaking, it doesn’t take more than an hour, unless we run into a problem.

Jennifer H

We have used these guys for years for our septic needs. We had a very old system and they have always done a great job taking care of it and helping us get as much life out of it as possible. They have never tried to sell us something we didn't need, like some other companies do. Recently, our drainfield finally reached the end of its life and needed to be replaced. They did a fantastic job!!! Not only are they extremely honest, but their prices are very reasonable and affordable. They are always a pleasure to work with and we know whatever issues pop up we can trust them.

Response from the owner: Thank you for the wonderful review, Jennifer! We're glad we continue to be your septic company of choice.

Terry Riffe

Honest, knowledgable, family owned, lots of experience, responsible. In April 2023 Lee Kirk and Sons installed new drainfield including permits in fenced yard with pool. Despite confined space, Mike Kirk used equipment effectively and covered and raked yard after inspection. Yard has recovered to 90% in six weeks. Septic system works like new and work is warranted. Good value. I highly reccommend. One day delay in start date due to unexpected delay on previous jobsite. Thanks Mike!

Response from the owner: Thanks for the great review and recommendation, Terry! We are so glad you are pleased with the outcome! of your project!

Hieu Nguyen

I can't say enough how wonderful their service was in replacing our 41 year-old drain field. From the first time Mike (third generation owner) gave us the quote--a very reasonable price at that--to the time of install, he was a gentleman, funny, honest, & professional. I signed Mike a check to have the permit be obtained and he took care of that process without fail. We scheduled for the install midweek. He and his team came out & completed the removal of the old system and installation of the new system in just a few hours! A few days later, the inspector came out and we passed with with flying colors. Mike came back out to cover up the trenches, rake the soil flat and applied a layer of grass seed. My wife and I have been stressed for months with this whole draining ordeal and Mike's service remedied it with ease. Thank you for the outstanding customer service, pricing, and workmanship! If you need septic work done, I highly recommend getting a second or third quote and giving Lee Kirk & Sons a call--you won't regret it =) May God continue to bless you, your family, and your business for years to come.

Response from the owner: Thanks for the fantastic review, Hieu! We really appreciate you sharing your experience and giving us a recommendation!

We had our septic pumped and filter cleaned. Very professional and helpful in explaining and answering questions. Great service. Even though there were complications with irrigation being in the way of the septic covers he was very cautious and attentive to make sure they did not get damaged. Would definitely recommend and will be a returning customer.
