FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does SewerTime publish prices when competitors don't?
Because septic service shouldn't feel like a guessing game. Most Phoenix septic companies require you to call for a quote, then drop a surprise bill on the day of service. We publish all prices because that's how we want to be treated — and how we'd want a contractor to treat our families. No bait-and-switch.
Are SewerTime's published prices final, or just starting points?
Standard residential pricing on our pricing page is the price you pay for the listed work in a standard accessible location. The only add-ons are clearly listed: tank locating ($100), buried tank / hard-to-access digging ($100), water haul ($300), and an optional $99 expedited inspection report (ADEQ only). Same-day pumping is never an extra charge — it's based on schedule availability. You'll never see a charge that wasn't disclosed up front.
How much does septic pumping cost in Phoenix?
Pricing by tank size: 1,250 gal or under $400, 1,500 gal $500, 2,000 gal $700, 2,500 gal $800, 3,000 gal $900. Add-ons: tank locating $100, buried/hard-access $100, water haul $300. Same-day pumping isn't an extra fee — it depends on scheduling availability. Use the instant quote tool above for your exact number.
How much does a septic inspection cost?
ADEQ-compliant inspection adds $275 on top of the pump-out cost (the system needs to be pumped for visual access). So combined pump-and-inspect ranges from $675 (1,250 gal or under) to $1,175 (3,000 gal). Standard report turnaround; same-day reports are available as a $99 expedite add-on.
How much does a new septic system cost in Arizona?
Conventional gravity septic systems run $12,000–$25,000 fully installed in the Phoenix metro, depending on tank size, drain field, and site work. Alternative ADEQ Type 4 systems for poor-soil sites run $20,000+. Permits, perc test, design, and county filing are typically $500–$1,500 of the total. We provide written fixed-price estimates after site evaluation.
Do you offer financing for major septic work?
Yes — for repairs or installs over $2,000, we offer financing through partner lenders. Application takes 5 minutes; decisions usually within an hour. Most homeowners with good credit qualify for low or zero interest for 12–24 months. Ask your service rep when booking.
Are estimates free? Do you charge a service-call or diagnostic fee?
Estimates are always free on new septic system installations and repair work — share photos, a description, or a quick site visit and we'll write you a fixed-price estimate at no charge. The exception is when actual diagnostic work is required (running a camera, locating, opening lids, isolating a backup, troubleshooting an alarm), or when we're dispatched to fix an issue — in those cases we charge a flat $159 service fee for the call, which is disclosed before we head out. Emergency dispatch (after hours, weekends, holidays) has an additional surcharge that's disclosed before the call ends.
How do I get an exact quote for my situation?
