Septic maintenance plans. Set it once, never think about it again.
The Tank Pro Plan handles your septic system on autopilot: annual inspection, scheduled pump-outs at the right interval for your usage, monthly biological additive shipments, and priority emergency response. It's the difference between $150-$300 a year and $20,000 in surprise drain field replacement at the worst possible time.
What's included in this service?
- Annual visual inspection of tank, lids, baffles, and drain field surface
- Sludge and scum measurement to set actual next-pump date
- Scheduled pump-outs at the right interval for your household
- Effluent filter cleaning at every visit
- Biological additive program (monthly or quarterly shipments)
- Priority emergency response for plan customers
- Written annual report for tax, insurance, or real-estate files
- Discounted rate on any repairs found during inspection
When do you need this service?
- You bought a home with a septic system and want to learn how it works
- You want predictable annual cost instead of surprise emergency bills
- You're a snowbird or rental property owner and need someone watching
- Your insurance carrier requires documented annual maintenance
- You're nearing real-estate sale and want a documented service history
- You've had problems before and want to make sure they don't return
What do homeowners ask about Maintenance?
What is included in the Tank Pro Plan?
Annual visual inspection, sludge and scum measurement, effluent filter cleaning, written report, biological additive program (monthly shipments), priority emergency dispatch, and 10% off any repairs found during the visit. Pumping is scheduled separately at the right interval based on your measurements — most households on the plan pump every 4 years instead of guessing.
How much money does the plan actually save?
Typical break-even is at the first avoided emergency call ($350-$650 saved) or the first deferred pump ($300-$500 saved by skipping a year you didn't actually need to pump). Long-term, the real savings are drain field life — fields that get inspected annually last 25-35 years instead of 12-18 years.
Can I cancel the plan?
Yes, anytime — no contract, no cancellation fee. We invoice annually and you can decline next year's visit. Most customers stay on year over year because the math works.
Do additives really help?
The right ones, yes. Bacterial and enzyme additives help maintain the digestion balance in the tank, especially in homes that use bleach, antibacterial soaps, or have low daily water use. We use evidence-supported products (not the snake-oil brands sold at hardware stores) and skip them entirely if your tank's biology is healthy without them.

Homeowners who hired us for this
Bought our place 4 years ago and never had the tank serviced. Tank Pro showed up on the day they said, took the time to measure sludge, walked me through what they found, and set us up for a clean schedule going forward. No upsell, no panic.
Had wet patches on the lawn and three other companies tried to sell me a $20K replacement. Tank Pro diagnosed it carefully, jetted the field, retrofitted an effluent filter, and bought us 5+ years for a fraction of the price. Real diagnosis, honest call.
Old steel tank had finally rusted through. They handled the county DEH permit, picked the right concrete tank for our access, and had it installed and inspected in 5 weeks total. Crew was clean, communication was clear, no surprise charges.
