Septic services
From routine pumping to a new drain field — what we help with.
Septic tank pumping
Pumping out the tank, checking baffles and the effluent filter, and noting sludge and scum levels.
Septic system inspections
Locating and opening the tank, checking baffles, the distribution box and drain field, for routine checks or a home sale.
Septic system repair
Broken baffles, cracked lids, failed pumps and floats, blocked inlet or outlet pipes and damaged distribution boxes.
Drain field repair & replacement
Assessing wet spots, odors and slow drains in the drain field, and planning repair or a replacement field.
New septic system installation
Septic systems for new homes and full system replacements, from site evaluation to final inspection.
Aerobic treatment unit service
Service and repair of aerobic treatment units: aerators, alarms, chlorinators and spray or drip heads.
Septic backups & alarms
Sewage backing up into drains, gurgling pipes, a high-water alarm or a tank that is overflowing.
Septic services across New York
Homes off the sewer rely on a septic system every day, and most problems start quietly: a tank overdue for pumping, a broken baffle, or a drain field that is clogged or sitting in saturated soil. New York Septic Pro focuses on finding the cause and fixing it properly — in Suffolk County, Northern Westchester, Dutchess County, Catskills watershed and throughout New York.
Some systems only need pumping and a new filter or lid; others need a repaired drain field or a full replacement designed for the site. The visit decides, not a sales script.
Straight answers on cost
Costs depend on the type of system, its condition, the soil and access, and we explain them after the visit. Our cost guide lists the factors that drive the price.

Request septic serviceQuick answers
How do I get help?
Send the request form with your town, property type and what is happening. It is open 24/7.
Do you check the system before quoting?
Yes. Tanks, soils and access differ from property to property, so the system is located and checked on site before a written estimate is given.
How often should a septic tank be pumped?
It depends on the size of the tank and the household. The US EPA suggests most household systems are inspected at least every three years and pumped every three to five years; the levels found at each visit are the best guide.
Are prices listed?
No. Estimates follow an on-site assessment.
