Section 02 — Services
Six things we do well. Nothing we don't.
02
Pre-Sale & Real-Estate Inspections
DEC-aligned inspection for closing. Tank condition, baffle integrity, drainfield indicators, sludge and scum depth — documented for the buyer's lender.
03
Riser & Lid Installation
Bring the access to grade. No more digging through frozen turf every three years. Cast-in or screw-down lid with a child-safe latch.
04
High-Water Alarm & Float Service
Replace failed floats, reset alarm panels, check the high-water switch. If the basement is gurgling, this is usually where we start.
05
Frozen-Line Thaw & Jet
October to April work. Steam-thaw frozen inlet and outlet lines without cracking the pipe. Jet the lateral to clear root or grease intrusion.
06
Holding-Tank Service Routes
Scheduled pumping for cabins, remote builds, and JBER housing on holding-tank service. Set a route and forget it.

From the Bowl to the Valley.
If you're south of the Knik bridge and north of Bird Point, we're probably in your zip code today. Not sure? Call us with your address — we'll tell you straight whether we can be out this week or whether someone else is closer.

Reason A
We quote before we roll.
You get a real number on the phone — tank size, access, distance — before the truck leaves the yard. The bill on the driveway is the bill we said.
Reason B
We write it down.
Every visit ends with a written depth-and-condition note: sludge depth, scum thickness, baffle condition, recommended next-pump window. Pump on data, not a calendar.
Reason C
We work the winter.
Steam thaw, not jack-hammer. We pump at -10°F without cracking your riser. Most of our competitors disappear October to April. We're who you call when they don't pick up.
Reviews
We're not going to print a star count we haven't earned online yet. If we've pumped your tank, we'd appreciate the Google review — and if you'd like a reference before booking, ask on the call and we'll give you the names and numbers of three nearby neighbors we've serviced this season.
Section 05 — FAQ
Eight questions the phone line hears the most.
If yours isn't here, call. Real answers, no upsell — we will tell you when we are not the right call.
How often should an Anchorage septic tank be pumped?
Every 2-3 years for a typical 2-4 person household, every 12-18 months for short-cycle homes on a 1,000-gallon tank. We document depth at every visit so you don't pump on a calendar — you pump on data.
What does a pump-out cost?
Pricing is by tank size and access. A standard 1,000-gallon residential tank with at-grade risers is our most common call. We quote on the phone before the truck rolls — no surprise bills.
How fast can you get out here?
Same-day or next-business-day for most of the Anchorage bowl. Emergency calls (sewage in the basement, alarm screaming) take priority and we will tell you a real ETA, not a window.
Do you cover the Mat-Su Valley?
Yes — Eagle River, Chugiak, Peters Creek, Palmer, Wasilla. Cabin work along the Glenn is case-by-case based on access and ground conditions.
What about winter pump-outs at -10°F?
We pump year-round. If the lid is frozen in, we steam-thaw it. If the line is frozen, we steam-thaw the line. We do not jack-hammer a frozen lid — that's how risers crack.
Do you take cards, or cash and check only?
Card, check, or cash on the truck. We invoice for property managers and real-estate transactions.
Will you find the tank if I don't know where it is?
Yes. We probe, we read the original plans if you have them, and worst case we run a locating transmitter from a cleanout. Most Anchorage tanks are 10–15 feet off the house on the downhill side.
Are you licensed and insured?
Operating in Anchorage as a registered Alaska business. We carry general liability and provide a certificate of insurance on request — ask when you book and we'll send it before the truck leaves the yard.
