Where Knightdale's septic homes are
Knightdale is in eastern Wake County. The septic homes are east and north of town and out toward Wendell and Zebulon, on land the town sewer does not reach.
Red clay over granite carries most of this ground, and the clay drains slowly. In a wet year the drainfield can stay saturated, and the signs are slow drains indoors and soft ground outdoors.
We pump across all of Wake County. The towns next door are septic tank pumping in Raleigh, septic pumping in Garner and septic service in Clayton.
Septic pumping in Knightdale, and the work that follows it
A pump-out comes first. A routine residential one is from $400, and if the tank shows a problem, the same crew can repair it. Call about slow drains, a sewage smell near the tank, or soft ground over the field that stays wet in dry weather. Do not wait for a backup.

Knightdale pumping questions
The short answers.
How often should I pump in Knightdale?
Plan on a pump-out every 3 to 5 years if you have a typical 1,000 gallon tank. A garbage disposal, a big household or a smaller tank means sooner. Red clay drains slowly and leaves the field little room for error, so do not let a tank run long.
Do you pump in Wendell and Zebulon?
Yes. We pump in Wendell and Zebulon as well as Knightdale, and the permits there come from the same county office, Wake County Environmental Services. Call 866-481-6929 with your road and town.
How do you find a tank that is buried?
We locate the lids by probing, beginning where the sewer line leaves the house. If they are down in the ground, we dig them out. Have the county permit drawing for your address ready if you have one, because it helps us find the lids. Afterward we can set a riser, so the lids come up to the surface.
How much does a pump-out cost?
A routine pump-out at a home is from $400. Tank size, access, lid depth and whether there is a riser all move the price, as does the time since the last pump-out. Discounts for seniors, veterans, neighborhoods and multi-tank jobs are available, one at a time.
