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.
