Sure you can get it pumped out for less than that, but what has that done to correct or prevent any future back-ups? No one wants to find out after they spend $12,000 on having a septic system replaced, that there was an alternative that could have saved them $11,850. Can you really trust your septic repair man, the one how pockets that $12,000, to honestly advise you of the proper test?

The seldom have any more bacteria than a monthly dose, simply sold in buckets to appear to be more powerful. In reality, it is the same thing, only in a far more cumbersome container for female and elderly homeowners to use.
