Regular Septic Tank Pumping

Many household and commercial septic system treatment products effectively kill beneficial bacteria from your septic system. We’ll help reintroduce the proper amount.
Septic Tank Filters & Cleanings
If your septic system has a filter, we’ll clean it with every service if the cover is to grade or accessible at “ground level.” We recommend you install a filter if you don’t have one already. They’re affordable and effective.
Free 5-Point Inspection With Every Septic Pumping
With every septic system pumping, we perform a free 5 point inspection of your system. Here’s what we check for:
- The condition of your septic system pumping covers to make sure there are no cracks or corrosion.
- The structural integrity of your precast concrete tank to make sure there is no water infiltration into the septic tank.
- The Inlet Tee to the septic tank to make sure it’s in place. The Inlet Tee has an outlet filter that we clean with every pumping.
- The liquid level of the septic tank. It should be at the outlet invert or at the bottom of the pipe.
- The main line from the septic system to the house. We’ll have you flush your toilet to make sure there is a free flow into the tank with no obstructions.

Bay State Customer Review
"I had not had my septic system pumped in quite a long time and I had septic backup. Bay State came out the day after I called them and pumped my septic system in under 20 minutes. They also cleaned my tank and checked my system to make sure it was running properly."
