‘What is the cost to pump a septic tank?’
Some companies try to lure you in with a low promised price for a pumpout, then add fees and extra services until the price is way beyond the original deal. Common "add-ons" include overflow charges, solids breakup charges, extra hose fees, digging costs, bacteria treatments, and parts replacements. Our customers have come to us complaining that when they tried to get a $150 pumpout, it cost them $3,200…$3,500…$5,500!
‘What is the price of a pumpout?’
At Banks, it is always $495 up to 1,000 gallons (and if there would be extra charges for extra work, we tell you before starting the process). If there are extra maintenance issues, or repairs that need to be done, we do that at your convenience, not ours. That's the Banks Guarantee.
