We Pump Septic Tanks In Denver CO
Including Arvada, Aurora, Centennial, and Surrounding Areas
Are you in need of septic tank pumping services in Colorado? Septic systems are a vital component of wastewater management for many homeowners across the state, especially in areas not serviced by municipal sewer systems. In Colorado, the reliance on septic systems is notably high in rural and semi-rural areas, including the regions surrounding Denver such as Arvada, Aurora, Centennial, Golden, Lakewood, Littleton, Thornton, Wheat Ridge, and Westminster.
In these areas, local health departments regularly issue permits for new septic systems, reflecting their widespread use and importance. It's estimated that a significant percentage of these systems may face functional challenges annually, often due to lack of regular maintenance like pumping the tank.
Septic systems, effectively managing wastewater onsite, are crucial in areas where connecting to municipal sewers is impractical or overly costly. Your septic system is an essential part of your property, playing a key role in the safe and eco-friendly disposal of wastewater.
Neglecting septic system maintenance can lead to expensive repairs or even full system replacements, which can cost a substantial amount. Regularly pumping your septic tank, typically every 3-5 years, is crucial to prevent such issues and to ensure the longevity of your system.
At Colorado Pumping, we specialize in septic tank pumping and are committed to serving the broader Denver area and its surrounding communities. Whether you require routine septic maintenance or are facing an urgent septic issue, Colorado Pumping is equipped and ready to assist. Our expertise and local knowledge ensure that we provide the best septic services tailored to the unique needs of Colorado homeowners.
Septic Tank Pumping And Maintenance Are Your Responsibility
One of the major drawbacks to a septic system is that you can't just forget about them (although it's easy when it's out of sight!). The homeowner or property owner is completely responsible for the safe and clean operation of their septic system. This includes regular maintenance like septic tank pumping.
Become familiar with your septic system and the locations of important parts of the system. You should know the locations of your septic tanks, your clean-outs, the distribution box, and your leach field. On older properties that have switched hands several times, it's not uncommon to lose track of where the septic tank and field are located. We can provide septic tank location services if that's the case.
Common Septic Tank Sizes
There are a variety of septic tank sizes throughout Colorado with 600 gallons to 1500 gallons being the most common size range of septic tanks we are called to pump out. The more bathrooms your home has, the more capacity your tank should have. We operate a 3500 gallon septic truck and can offer septic tank pumping for tanks of all sizes.
When Should Septic Tank Pumping Be Done?
It's a good idea to at least inspect your tank once a year. It's simple to inspect the tank yourself if you know it's location and the lid is exposed, or you can have a septic tank technician from Prime Septic check the levels of liquids and solids for you. You should periodically check your septic drain field for any odors or water pooling on the surface as well.
Generally, septic tank pumping should happen every 3-5 years depending on use. There are other factors and indicators that might want to make you pump your septic tank out at more frequent intervals.
If you have a large family, a large home, attached suites, your system back ups frequently, or anything else that would put additional usage on your septic system, then you should consider increasing septic tank pumping frequency as suggested by your tank technician.
If you practice good water conservation, and don't flush harmful items (grease, baby or flushable wipes, and female hygiene products) down your drains, then your septic system can go further between septic tank pumping, but it's best to let a professional make that determination after inspecting your tank.

The cost for our septic tank pumping service can vary depending on the distance we need to travel, the size of your tank, and whether or not we'll have to dig up your lid or locate your system. The disposal costs can fluctuate depending on which dump site is closest to your location.
