Clear pricing and prompt scheduling in Des Moines

Our Services

A septic inspection in Des Moines starts with a quick look inside the tank to see how full it is and whether sludge or scum is pushing against the baffles. If the tank is near capacity, you’ll notice slow drains, nasty odors, or even backups in the house. We measure the sludge level, check the baffles, and make sure the outlet pipe is clear before any pumping begins. Our pricing is flat-rate, so you know exactly what you’ll pay for the pump-out and disposal. Scheduling is easy – just give us a call and we’ll lock in a time that fits your calendar. The whole job usually takes a few hours, and you’ll leave with a clean tank and peace of mind.

We come to the job site and check the tank level, looking for any signs of overflow. Our crew tests for backups and any foul odors that could mean a problem. We watch how quickly drains run to spot slow flow issues. If the inspection fails, we tell you exactly why and what needs fixing. Call (888) 403-4607 to set up an inspection today.

A septic inspection covers the tank level, lid condition, and any signs of cracks. We also test for odors and check the inlet and outlet pipes for flow. Pumping removes all solids down to a clean bottom. After pumping we run a dye test to confirm the leach field is working. This gives you a full picture of system health.

Pricing is based on tank size and how full the tank is. We charge a flat rate for standard 1,000-gal tanks in Des Moines, plus extra for larger or harder-to-reach units. Pumping cost includes labor, disposal, and a basic inspection report. If we need to lift a heavy cover or clear a blockage, there may be an add-on. We give you a written estimate before any work starts.

You don’t have to stay the whole time, but someone should be around to grant us access. We need a clear path to the tank and the ability to open the lid. If you’re not home, leave a key in a lockbox or arrange with a neighbor. We’ll call when we arrive and let you know once it’s done. Just make sure the driveway is free of cars.
