During the visit. We check the tank’s liquid level before pumping, remove the contents, and look over accessible components. We’ll explain what we found and discuss any follow-up, including filter service if needed.
Before we quote. Tank size, lid access, and the distance from the truck to the tank can affect the price. Share your address and whatever you know about your system so we can talk through the job before scheduling.
Before the truck arrives. Clear vehicles or equipment from the agreed access route, unlock any gates we’ll need, and secure pets. Let us know about tight turns, soft ground, or other access concerns when you book.
Unsure where the lid is or when the tank was last pumped? You can still reach out. Leave the lids closed and tell us what you know. We can discuss locating the tank if needed.
WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU CALL
Whether you’re planning routine septic tank cleaning or calling about a system concern, contact Moore’s Septic Services to discuss your needs. We’ll talk through your tank location, access, and scheduling before arranging a visit.
When you call or text, share your property address, tank size, last pump-out date, and whether the tank lids are accessible, if known. If you’re unsure where your tank is located, let us know so we can discuss locating services.
We also offer septic camera inspections and locating, septic riser installation, and replacement tank lids. Mention buried lids or difficult access when scheduling so we can discuss the appropriate service.
Before pumping, I check whether the liquid in your tank is at its normal operating level. A higher-than-normal level can be a sign of a backup or restricted flow. I also look at the tank’s three layers: floating scum at the top, liquid effluent in the middle, and settled sludge at the bottom.
I check the condition of the lid, riser, inlet, outlet, and distribution box where accessible. If your system has an aerator, I check whether it’s running. I’ll explain what I find and let you know if anything needs follow-up.
CLEANING & REPLACEMENT
We offer effluent filter cleaning and replacement for Norweco and Jet septic systems. Filter service is available as a separate appointment or alongside your septic tank pumping.
When scheduling, tell us your system’s brand and model, if known, and whether you need filter cleaning or replacement. We’ll discuss your system, access, and the appropriate service.
We recommend effluent filter cleaning every six months. Follow your system’s manufacturer guidance and any local requirements. Filter service follows its own maintenance schedule; it does not mean your septic tank needs pumping every six months.
Moore’s Septic Services is expanding its service program for homeowners whose systems have gone without regular maintenance or who need a new service provider. Call or text to discuss your system and service availability.
A homeowner near Lithopolis called me about a septic backup after having trouble reaching a local provider. When I stopped by, I found a clogged effluent filter. The homeowner said his tank had been pumped a few months earlier, but the filter hadn’t been cleaned and he hadn’t been told his system had one.
An effluent filter helps protect the drainfield by catching solids before they leave the tank. It’s easy to overlook, especially if you don’t know you have one. A clogged filter can restrict flow and contribute to a backup even after a recent pump-out.
I cleaned the filter and showed the homeowner how it fits in a specific direction. I recommended cleaning it every six months for his system. He asked about my service program, and we set up twice-yearly filter visits so he doesn’t have to remember when it’s due or handle the cleaning himself.
If you’re on the Fairfield County side of Lithopolis and want help with your septic filter, call or text Moore’s Septic Services to ask about scheduled filter service.

SERVICE QUESTIONS
Your pumping schedule depends on your tank size, how many people use the system, and your service history. If you know when your tank was last pumped or how many gallons were removed, share those details when you call. I can help you decide when to plan your next pump-out. With my Septic Tank Pumping Reminder Program, I’ll send you a reminder 30 days before your recommended pump-out date and call you one week before it’s due.
Tank size, lid access, and the distance from where the truck can park to the tank can affect the price. Call or text your service address and whatever you know about the tank and lids. We’ll talk through access and pricing before scheduling.

Yes. We also provide pump-outs for holding tanks, RVs, and campers. Share your location and the type of tank when you contact us.
If your drainfield is backing up, you suspect your system has failed, or your septic tank is damaged, contact your county’s Environmental Health Division for guidance on evaluation, repairs, replacement, and any required permits.
A backup can have several causes. Moore’s Septic Services can discuss pumping, filter service, and accessible system concerns with you. Contact the health department before arranging alterations or replacement work.
