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.
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.
“They came exactly when they said they would be here. We are new to our home. They were honest and very helpful about educating us on our system and its current state. GREAT SERVICE!!!!! Thank you! The tech explained everything!”

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.

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!

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 😎

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.

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.

Very happy with the work provided to me by William Dustin Septic! William Dustin Septic started coming out for our home septic inspection before we bought the house. They cleaned everything out and assured us our septic system was in working condition.A couple of weeks later we had a plumbing issue and the plumber said he could not fix it and it must be our septic...we obviously called out William Dustin Septic immediately and they arrived just a couple hours later to our home.They checked into our system and assured us that it was STILL in working condition and that the plumber did not do his job correctly...and not only that...they then PROCEEDED TO FIX THE CLOGGED PIPE THAT THE PLUMBER SAID WAS NOT AN ISSUE!...AND didn't charge for the plumbing issue that they were not even brought out for.I am forever grateful. At the start of the day we couldn't use our toilets or showers and we are not fully functional!!!***I will say that they were prompt and professional through every encounter as well.10/10 recommend!

I called around 8:15 am to ask about pumping out my septic tank and they were at my house by 9:30 the same morning. There were two men with the truck, David and Mason, they were very helpful and professional, they explained what they were doing and made recommendations for me in the future to help maintain my septic system. I made arrangements for them to come to install risers for my system. I was very pleased with the price they charged and I will use them again.

Can't say enough about this company.First call - I talked to someone and set an appointment for the next day. No "leave a message" or unfulfilled promises of a return call.Unheard of in today's world!They called the next morning to let me know they would be here shortly, and they were!Aaron and Devin went right to work, were knowledgeable and did a great job.Here's what they didn't do:Did not try to upsell me for things I didn't need.Did not drive on the grass and leave ruts.Did not leave a mess.Did not find any reasons to charge more than the original quote.I say these things because they have all happened to me at one time or another.So to William Dustin; You are doing everything right at a time when few businesses are.

The William Dustin septic guys just finished and I am pleased to say they were 5 star in doing the work efficiently and professionally. The waste pump had failed and Dustin gave the best estimate for the whole job and there were no surprises. I will call them again if work needed and recommend them to all for future work. They are #1 in the # 2 business and I liked seeing our flag on their truck too.

Outstanding service. Dustin was recommended by a good friend. I blindly trusted and glad that I did! Dustin was quick to take my calls, very thorough in his explanations and his pricing beat most of the other companies out there. Dustin replaced our drainfileds and provided peace of mind at a time when I needed it most as I was in the hospital with my mom. He got the job done and even offered to drive by the hospital to collect payment which was going above and beyond. He's won a customer for life!

Will use for all future services.

Bill and crew put a new drain field in for us recently (4/22/19). Let me start out by saying there’s not a better company to use. The work was spot on, on time and done at a fantastic price. Many homeowners nowadays need a raised drain field, which requires installation of a pumping station. It goes without saying that the price would reflect the extra work. What I learned from this experience, is that the county TELLS the septic company what is required.......after a soil sample is performed. The decision is not up to the company. Big lesson here for me. The first company that gave a written estimate, insisted that a pumping station and raised drainfield would “absolutely” be required. Mind you no soil sample was taken and no permit pulled to make this decision. Long story short, the first estimate was in the vicinity of $5400 for 300sq ft of drainage using chambers. Bill stated without question that he could do the job for $5000 if a raised drainfield and pumping station were needed. Surprise! Bill pulled the permit, county came and took soil sample to determine the depth of the water table, and NO raised drainfield was needed!!! The new field could go back into the ground. Total price was $3400. No BS. No inflating the price. And exactly what what was promised. I stand behind William Dustin 100%. Recommend him without hesitation.

I couldn't be happier with the service. Mr. Dustin was fast and professional He was not only the low bidder (out of 5-6 bids), but the final bill even came in UNDER estimate! Who could ask for more? The whole crew was friendly, efficient and professional. If you need septic work performed, don't bother wasting your time gathering bids (like I did). William Dustin Septic is the only call you need to make.

Everything in our house was clogged. If I ran the washer the water ended up on the floor of the front bathroom, etc. We called a plumber first but they couldn't help except to suggest our tank needed to be pumped out. I called William Dustin Septic and was very pleased with the job they did for us. They even dug out the main line and explained what else we should do so we wouldn't have an ongoing problems. Thank you very much for your outstanding service!

William came to our home today to inspect a Pump issue we noticed (but truthfully had no idea how to address). I was so thankful of his knowledgable information, fast and efficient work ethic, and kindness to this girl...who had NO CLUE what was going on to be honest. He and his partner did not make me feel pressured to purchase multiple services, but rather educated me on what was going on, what to expect, and how to amend the current problem. Thank you for a job well done...and a brand new pump! Haha!
