Looking for recommendations for companies to pump the septic tank who are reasonably priced. What is the average cost for this in this neighborhood? Thank you!

I'm glad our son, Jonathan, could give you such good advice. He is a civil engineer for a company in town and knows about septics. We have used either Pitel Septic (815-385-1819) or recently have used Rechel Septic recommended by Jon (815-363-8972). Our septic had some issues about water running back into the tank, so Rechel put in a dry well on our property and installed a pipe through the foundation to the drywell so that our water softener water would go into the well. Evidently when the water softener goes through its cycle, it sends out a lot of water into your septic. So this solved the problem. Happy pumping!
