- Review the property details and access notes
- Pump the tank and note obvious concerns
- Flag whether inspection or repair follow-up makes sense

FAQ
Septic pumping questions
How do I know if I need pumping or an inspection?
If the system is simply due, pumping is usually the right starting point. If you have repeated odours, wet ground, alarms, or symptoms that do not clearly point to normal tank maintenance, the inspection page is the better fit.
Is pumping relevant when I just bought a Maple Ridge property?
Yes. If maintenance records are missing or uncertain, pumping can be a practical reset point and a chance to note what kind of follow-up the system may need. The maintenance page also helps owners build a longer-term service rhythm after that first visit.
Can I mention emergency symptoms on the request form?
Yes. The request page includes service categories and symptom checkboxes so urgent backup issues, inspections, and routine pumping requests can all flow through the same conversion path.
Do you handle pumping for Maple Ridge acreages and semi-rural properties?
Yes. This site is written for Maple Ridge homes, acreages, and edge-of-town properties where septic systems are common. If you want to confirm neighbourhood fit first, use the Maple Ridge service-areas page.
