Our septic tank maintenance services in Lakeland, FL will ensure that your septic tank is always in the best of working order.

Septic Tank Maintenance in Lakeland – Even if you are new to septic system ownership, you know the important role that the septic tank itself plays in the septic system. The septic tank is a holding tank for wastewater from your home. While in the septic tank, wastewater will separate, filter, and become transformed into water that can flow safely into the groundwater. Without a properly functioning and undamaged septic tank, you’re vulnerable to problems with contaminated groundwater, backflows, even fines. Here at William Dustin Septic, we want to help you ensure that your septic tank is always in the best of working order, and that’s why we offer septic tank maintenance options to our Lakeland, FL friends and neighbors.

Pumping septic tank
We strongly recommend septic tank maintenance to all of our customers because we know it will save you money over time. We believe in routine septic tank maintenance for the same reason we feel it’s a good idea to get a yearly physical– if there is a problem, you can nip it in the bud for less cost and a better outcome than if you were to wait until the problem worsens. Just like we wouldn’t tell you to chance it and skip your physical because you feel fine, we don’t want you to skip your septic tank maintenance and chance a bad outcome.

Honest and very helpful.

What Factors Determine Schedule for Septic Tank Maintenance

There are some things that have a reasonably consistent lifespan and are unaffected by many external factors. Unfortunately, the health of your Lakeland, Florida septic system isn’t one of them. Two identical homes can be built at the same time and one will get 50 years of trouble-free septic performance and the other requires replacement after just 20 years. So, what makes up the difference? At William Dustin Septic, we believe an informed customer is our best customer, and we are happy to help you get the longest life from your septic system.

Septic tank maintenance on a regular basis is an important part of preserving your septic system. Even knowing that is only half the battle because various factors determine how often this should be done. While you can’t have it done too often leading many of our customers to opt for annually, going too long between appointments could spell trouble. Here are some factors that determine the schedule for septic tank maintenance to give you an idea:

  • Family Size: A larger family is going to put more stress on the septic system than a smaller one, so the larger your family, the more frequent septic tank maintenance is needed.
  • Lifestyle: A family that spends most of its time at home will put more stress on the system than one that is rarely at home. In addition, frequent guests can also put additional stress on it.
  • Habits: If you follow all our advice for keeping things out of the tank that shouldn’t go in there, you can go longer between septic tank maintenance visits than someone who is less careful about what they flush or put down the drain.
  • System Age: Everything wears out eventually and to stay on top of any problems brewing, we recommend more frequent septic tank maintenance for older systems.

I'm in Plant City. I just had tank pumped. Very courteous crew, no foul language. Professional. They had the opportunity to sell me drain field work, but get this! They were honest. Pumped tank, verified drain field was good. Only charged me for what I needed. Find that today. You won't! Honesty
Respectful language. I recommend them any day!
We called on MLK Day worried we were not going to find any availability or the costs would be extra. Well, from the very start of the call, I knew I called the right place. I was given a quote and was told it would probably be later this afternoon which was fine. A few hours later, I get a text saying his guys were ahead of schedule and if it was ok to come by. ABSOLUTELY!!! When they got here, they showed us what the problem was. We had a filter that was clogged. And we would have needed to pump the septic tank soon anyways, so we figured to go ahead and do it while we could. We heard prices were going to start going up so financially, this was a smart move for us. We were SO happy with the service of the technicians and of the owner!! I guarantee you, I will be using this company for ALL MY SEPTIC NEEDS!!!

Thanks again guys!!

Thank you very much for the great work!!! Wish I could give more than a 5 star ⭐️ rating. Excellent job well done!
Made the appt for Friday at 12 noon and they promptly pulled up at 11:59am. They looked at the situation, diagnosed and gave us the short term solution and also what we needed to look at long term down the road. Mason and Ethan were very personable, polite and punctual. I will use them again and I would recommend them.
