Before it becomes an emergency
A pump out costs a fraction of a failed system
Most septic emergencies are not sudden. The tank fills, the filter clogs, the drain field takes on more than it can handle, and the warning signs show up weeks before the backup does. Catching it early is the difference between a scheduled visit and a Saturday you will remember for the wrong reasons.
- Drains that empty slower than they used to, especially more than one at a time
- Gurgling in toilets and tubs
- Standing water or bright green grass over the drain field
- Odor near the tank or around the house
- An alarm on a system with a pump
If any of those sound familiar, it is worth a call now rather than after the water has nowhere to go.

★★★★★ I never have a never will use a different company. AA Septic is the best.! I walked up to them as they were preparing to serve a homeowner near me, asked if they could work me in when they were finished and they did perfect. I did not have to spend another day at home waiting still only $410 and a free fly water.lol

Before you call
Questions we answer every week
How often should a septic tank be pumped?
For most households it lands in a range rather than a fixed number, because it depends on tank size, how many people live there and how the system is used. If it has been more than a few years and you cannot remember the last time, it is time.
How do I know if my septic tank is full?
Slow drains in more than one fixture, gurgling, odor near the tank, or standing water and unusually green grass over the drain field. Any of those is worth a look.
How much does septic pumping cost?
Septic tank pumping starts at $410. The final price depends on tank size, access, distance and the condition of the system, and we confirm it before any work begins. Starting prices for our other services are on our pricing page.
Can you find my tank if I do not know where it is?
Yes. Locating is part of what we do, and we have video equipment for systems where the lids are buried or the lines are a mystery.
Do you do septic inspections for a home sale?
Yes. We inspect the tank and accessible components, evaluate condition, and provide documentation for the transaction. We work on closing timelines.
What is the difference between pumping and cleaning?
In practice, nothing. Different people use different words for the same service.
What should I keep out of a septic system?
Wipes of any kind, including the ones labeled flushable. Grease down the kitchen sink. Paper towels, hygiene products, cat litter, and harsh drain chemicals. Most of the repairs we do trace back to one of those.
What areas do you cover?
About 30 miles out from Danville, covering Hendricks, Morgan and Putnam counties and reaching into Boone, Johnson, Marion, Montgomery and Owen.
