## Frequently asked questions

### Is septic tank cleaning the same as septic pumping?

They overlap. Pumping removes sludge, scum, and liquid with a vacuum truck. Septic tank cleaning usually means that pump-out plus scraping leftover solids, checking baffles, and cleaning the effluent filter. Many contractors book both as one visit.
