Septic Tank Maintenance, Lakeland, FL

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.

If you need assistance with your septic tank maintenance, please don’t hesitate to call us here at William Dustin Septic today!

My septic tank seems fine – can I skip regular maintenance?
We highly recommend regular maintenance even if your system appears functional. It helps to prevent issues before they become serious and costly problems.
How can I maintain a healthy bacterial balance in my septic tank?

They came out next day of the phone call very reasonable price thank you so much for all your help we really appreciate you
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!!

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.
Excellent customer service . Answered my email request the next morning . Actually answered the phone when I called to set an appointment. Said a truck could be sent out noon the following day… and they actually showed up at noon! So refreshing and almost unheard of these days. The two technicians were absolutely respectful and genuinely helpful and nice. They explained things to us and were delightful. I would and will highly recommend Dustin’s Septic Service and will give them repeat business if and when needed. A job well done.
Only complaint I have is I can’t give them 6 stars!

They replaced my drain fields at my old house. Showed up exactly when they said they would and did an awesome job. I bought a new house and the septic needed to be pumped. Called William Dustin and received great service again! Prompt and quick! I’ve recommended to many friends and will always give them a call in the future. Thank you!
Our septic backed up at our shop. They came right out, diagnosed the issue, and got right to repairing the problem! We had no loss of business during the repair. They were professional and efficient!!!

Fast friendly service. Came out the next day early and took care of emptying our septic tank. Would recommend and would definitely use again!!
First, the night before, while taking a shower, my shower wouldn’t drain. I was was standing ankles deep in dirty water. Waited ‘til morning to call a septic company that could fix this problem. After an hour of calling, only one company said they could come to my home today. The rest said maybe a week, maybe 3 days and so on. That was William Dustin Septic. Not only did they show, they did so earlier than promised. The two gentlemen, David and Mason arrived,found the cover, and sucked out 900 gallons in less than an hour. These guys are professional and very knowledgeable. Answered all my questions and suggested what I may encounter in the future and how to take care of it. I will never call another septic company. And then the next day, unbeknownst to me, brought by six bags of sand to fill the divots in my yard. First class, I highly recommend them and the price was very reasonable. I’m happy 😎
I called on Memorial Day to schedule and appointment. They arrived the next day as planned. Serviced and gone with in an hour. Highly recommended !!
Came out on time and pumped our septic very quickly. The crew (two of them) were very professional and friendly.
This company is very professional and does over the top work. I was very impressed with their customer service as well as their mannerism when they came out to pump out our septic tank.
I have had septic issues for a few weeks now and I became desperate ,Yesterday David and mason showed up and literally save the Day !!! They were very professional , time efficient and we're very knowledgeable . They even explained the process . I would definitely use your company again ,Thank you David and mason
Great guys! Arrived on time. Very nice and did the job. Also best price
Excellent service and very quick to respond, Ive used this company 3 times now.
VERY GOOD SERVICES AND FAST.
I RECOMMENDED IT!
We used the services of William Dustin Septic twice in the past two weeks. The first time we needed a pump out of our tank. The team called earlier than scheduled and arrived promptly. They were friendly, professional and answered all questions. Upon talking to them, they suggested that we might be interested in having risers installed so as to avoid future need of digging up our lawn to access the tank covers for pumping. They explained the process and gave us a price.

We called about a week later to schedule installation and again, the two gentlemen were prompt, friendly and professional. These two were not the same employees as the first time, so I was quite happy that all of the employees seem to have the same professionalism and pleasant demeanor.

Price point was very reasonable and definitely competitive.
Work was completed satisfactorily and completely.
Promptness and communication was appreciated in this day and age of no-shows.

I highly recommend this company and will definitely call again when we need service. Thank you for a pleasant septic experience.
Mason and David ( The A Team ) Rock !!!! They came out emptied our septic after one phone call !! The tank had not been emptied in over 20+years , they worked hard and emptied ever bit of it !!!

Extremely helpful even before coming out to my house. I called and said I think I need a new drain field. They explained to me how to check if a drain field was needed. When William came to my house to quote the drain field he explained every step from start to finish. Great job. I would recommend William Dustin Septic over any other company we have dealt with in the past.
Response from the owner:Wow - thanks for the kind review, Thomas! It was our pleasure and we are happy to help anytime in the future!
