Choose Your Level
- Free Reminder Service ($0) — we track your last pumping date and call/text when your system is due. No commitment, no charge. Every customer gets this automatically.
- Annual Checkup Plan — once a year we visit, check sludge levels, baffles and the drain field surface, and tell you exactly where your system stands. You pump only when it's actually needed — often later than you'd guess.
- Full Care Plan — annual checkup + scheduled pumping at member pricing (10% off all services), priority scheduling, and no after-hours surcharge on emergencies. For rental properties and busy households that want zero septic thoughts.
Why it pays: a drain field replacement in Sonoma County runs $15,000–$40,000. Every plan exists to make sure you never buy one prematurely. Members also skip the $150 after-hours emergency surcharge — one prevented midnight call covers years of plan cost.
Especially Useful For
- Rental and vacation properties — tenants and guests never report septic symptoms until it's a crisis. Scheduled care removes the tenant from the equation.
- New rural homeowners — just moved from city sewer? We handle the learning curve for you.
- Older systems — a 40-year-old tank on annual watch lasts years longer than one serviced only in emergencies.
- Home sellers planning ahead — a documented maintenance history is a genuine selling point at escrow time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do maintenance plans cost?
The reminder service is free for every customer. Paid plans are priced by system type and property — most homes land under $200 per year for the Annual Checkup Plan. Call for an exact quote; there are no contracts and you can cancel anytime.
Is a maintenance plan worth it for a newer septic system?
Yes — newer engineered and pump systems actually have more components to check (pumps, floats, alarms, filters) than old gravity tanks. Annual checks catch a $30 float switch before it becomes a flooded drain field.
Do plan members get priority in emergencies?
Yes. Full Care members go to the front of the dispatch queue and pay no after-hours surcharge — on a holiday weekend, that alone can save $150 and hours of waiting.
Can I put a rental property on a plan?
Absolutely — rentals are our most common plan properties. We schedule directly with your tenant or property manager and send reports and invoices to you.
