How the plan works
We start with an inspection
We check every part of your system and set your pump date from what we measure.
We book your check-ins
Three lighter visits fill out the year.
We write it up
After every visit you get notes on what we checked and what we found.
We tell you what's due
If a pump-out or repair is due, we say so and quote it in writing first.
Numbers worth knowing
- 4 visitsA year: three quarterly check-ins and one full inspection.
- YearlySC DES says a system with a pump or other moving parts needs an inspection at least once a year, and the plan builds it in.
- 3 to 5 yrsSC DES says most home tanks need pumping this often, and the plan keeps track of your date.
Good to know
You still need pumping
The plan sets your pump date by measuring the tank. It doesn't replace the pump-out.
Priority is about order, not a timer
Members go first in our scheduling and on our emergency line, and we don't promise an arrival time.
Clear access keeps visits short
Lids you can reach and an open gate let us spend the visit on your system, not on finding it.
Checkup Plan questions, answered
Do I still need my tank pumped?
Yes. SC DES says most home tanks need pumping every 3 to 5 years, and the yearly inspection measures your tank so the date comes from what we find. The pump-out is its own job, and we quote it in writing before we start.
Is a check-in the same as an inspection?
No. A check-in is a lighter visit: the lids, the yard over the drain field, the outlet filter, and the pump and alarm if you have them. The yearly inspection covers the baffles, the solids, scum and sludge levels, the drain lines, the distribution box, the drain field and a flow test, plus the alarm and pump station if you have them.
Does the plan cover repairs?
No. The plan covers the visits and your place in line, not the cost of a repair. If a visit finds a problem, we explain it and quote the repair in writing before any work starts.
What happens if I sell my home?
The plan can move to the new owner, and your written notes show a buyer what has been checked and when.
