Our Cortez Septic Services
Septic Tank Cleaning and Pumping
Regular septic services and septic tank maintenance is essential to remove sludge and scum that accumulate over time, which, if left unchecked, can lead to clogs, system overflows, and costly repairs.
Septic Tank Locating
As part of our septic services, we have a specialized flushable radio transmitter and camera that helps us locate your septic tank. We can also assist if you don’t want to expose your tank lids or if your septic requires more than a shovel.
Septic Tank Riser
A septic system riser provides easy, above-ground access to your septic tank, making inspections, maintenance, and pumping more efficient.
Septic Tank Repairs
Septic systems might need to be replaced if they’re old, damaged, or not working properly due to leaks, clogs, or failing parts.
Transfer of Titles
As of January 2019 all septic systems in La Plata County are required to pass an NAWT inspection prior to sale and “transfer of title” of your home. If you are selling your home, we can help with this signature service!
Bobcat Mini Excavator
We use a Bobcat excavator for septic services that require tasks like digging to uncover septic tank lids, installing new systems, replacing damaged components, or creating a new Soil Treatment Area.

What are the signs that your septic tank is full?
Common signs include slow drains, unpleasant odors near drains or the tank area, standing water in the yard, and gurgling sounds from plumbing fixtures. If you notice these issues, schedule a professional inspection immediately.
How often should I have my septic tank pumped?
Septic tanks typically need pumping every 2 to 4 years, but this can vary based on usage and tank size. A professional can assess your system and recommend an ideal schedule for septic system pumping.
