Protect Your System. Prevent Costly Backups. Routine maintenance is the difference between a septic system that lasts 30 years and one that fails in ten. At Jim’s Excavating, we provide expert pumping and mechanical repairs to keep your system flowing smoothly. Serving Cologne and the surrounding 20-mile area, we make it easy to stay on top of your system’s health.
Why Regular Pumping Matters
Most septic systems require a professional pump-out every three years to remove the accumulated solids that can’t be broken down by bacteria. If these solids aren’t removed, they can damage your septic treatment area, causing permanent (and expensive) damage.
Convenient Service for Your Schedule:
- No Need to Be Home: For standard pumping, you don’t need to be present as long as we have access to the tank. We are happy to call you when we are on our way if you’d like to be there!
- Payments: We make the process simple by accepting Cash, Check, or Credit Cards.
Is Your Septic Alarm Going Off?
- Fast Response: Call us immediately if your alarm sounds to prevent a backup into your home.
- Expert Troubleshooting: We specialize in repairing or replacing septic pumps, floats, and electrical components.
- On-Site Consultations: For repairs, we recommend the homeowner be present so our technicians can walk you through the issue and the solution.
