2026 Septic Service Price Book
2026 Septic Service Price Book
Septic pricing swings wildly by region and tank size, and undercharging a pump-out means eating the dump fee. This book covers tank-size baselines, locate and dig surcharges, inspection tiers, common repair pricing, and a 3-year reminder-plan structure.
What's inside
- Pump-out baselines: 750 to 2,000 gallon tanks
- Access surcharges: locates, digging by depth, second lids, filters
- Inspection tiers: visual, full with pump-out, camera, dye test
- Repair line items: baffles, risers, filters, D-boxes, drain field jetting
- Disposal-cost worksheet with per-gallon dump-fee floors
- Recurring 3-year reminder plan pricing
Quick questions
Do the baselines include digging?
No. Baselines assume an exposed, accessible lid. Digging is always a line item, priced by depth, and the book gives you the ladder.
Why a reminder plan discount?
A 3-year pump-out reminder program is the highest-ROI thing a septic company can run. A 5-8% plan discount costs far less than losing the customer to whoever calls first.
How operators use this
Use the worksheets to set base rates, minimum charges, and add-on pricing so every quote follows the same system.
The margin-per-crew-hour math is designed to show which job types quietly underperform, so you can reprice or drop them.
Print the checklists and give one to each crew so the same standards apply on every job.
