Andrew, owner of Skips Wastewater Services, and Mike Olsen are providers of the best septic services in the state. Over the years, both have developed trusted and professional septic services companies that have earned a great reputation amongst the residents of Connecticut. We are excited to bring our resources and knowledge together to continue to offer exceptional septic services.

Septic Pumping
Proper preventive maintenance can increase the longevity of your septic system. We recommend pumping your septic tank every 1 to 3 years. Pumping intervals will depend on water usage in the home and the condition of your septic system.

When your septic tank is pumped and cleaned, we will remove dirt above your tank, exposing the cover. Our septic pumping includes:
- Identifying the size and type of your septic tank.
- Determining its depth below the ground surface.
- Inspecting both the inlet and outlet baffles for deterioration.
- Measuring the liquid level in the tank from the top of the liquid to the septic tank ceiling. This ensures that the leach field is absorbing the liquid from the tank.
- Scanning the inside of the tank for cracks or holes.
- Pumping all liquid and solids out of the septic tank and into our pump truck for disposal.
- Completing a septic tank pumping report, which includes findings, test results, and a map with measurements to the septic tank for future reference.
