Septic Compass is a free service that connects homeowners with licensed local septic companies. We are not a contractor and do not perform septic work.
A routine residential septic pump-out typically costs $300–$600, with most homeowners paying around $400. Price depends on tank size, how much sludge has built up, how easy the tank is to reach, and local disposal fees. Pumping on schedule keeps every visit cheaper and protects the costly drain field.
| Tank size | Typical pump-out cost |
|---|---|
| 750 gallon | $250–$400 |
| 1,000 gallon | $300–$500 |
| 1,250 gallon | $350–$600 |
| 1,500 gallon | $400–$700 |
