About This Service

Crud Busting is our tank mixing and agitation service. Over time, thick sludge and hardened crud can build up on the bottom and sides of your septic tank, making a standard pump-out less effective. Our Crud Busting process uses high-pressure agitation to break up and suspend that stubborn material so it can be fully pumped out. This service is especially recommended for tanks that have not been serviced in many years or have visible signs of heavy buildup.

What Is Included

  • High-pressure tank agitation
  • Breaks up hardened sludge
  • Suspends settled solids for removal
  • More complete waste extraction
  • Recommended for neglected or older tanks

Pricing

Starting at $75

Add-on to a standard pump-out service. May take a couple of hours depending on how bad the buildup is.

The technician was knowledgeable, explained the process step-by-step, and didn't try to upsell me on services I didn't need. Highly recommend and will be using them for all future maintenance!”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is crud busting?

Crud busting is a high-pressure agitation process that breaks up hardened sludge and settled solids at the bottom of your tank. This material is too thick for standard pumping to remove effectively.

Does every tank need crud busting?

No. Crud busting is most beneficial for tanks that have gone many years without service or show signs of heavy buildup. We will recommend it during your pump-out if we see it is needed.
