Maverick Pumping Service
What does it cost to get a drain cleaning?
Maverick Pumping Service offers drain cleaning solutions including basic filter maintenance, manhole cover excavation, lateral augering, water jetting, and camera inspections. We encourage you to call our office to discuss your specific concerns and receive accurate pricing information.What time will you be at my property?
We do not provide specific time windows due to routing requirements. For standard county maintenance pumpings, service occurs between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM on your scheduled date. If special circumstances require your presence, please inform our office and we will attempt to provide a more specific arrival window.Do you file services with the county?
We submit all county maintenance pumping records electronically to the county after full payment has been received for the services rendered.How large are your trucks?
Our service vehicles maintain a minimum capacity of 5,000 gallons. We ask that you clear all driveways to allow our technicians safe and appropriate access to your septic tank.What needs to be exposed, the 26" manhole cover or the 4" PVC pipe?
Every tank includes a 26-inch manhole cover. Older installations may have covers located below ground level. Your tank lid must be accessible for our technicians to perform service. Should you be unable to excavate and expose the cover, we provide digging services for an extra fee.How often do I need my system pumped?
Pumping frequency varies by system type. Septic systems require county-mandated inspections every three years. Holding tanks typically need pumping every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on household usage patterns.Where is my tank and how do I know how many gallons it is?
Your tank location can be determined through several methods. Contact the county to request a plot plan, which will provide the tank's location on your property and its gallon capacity.How can I pay and do you take payment plans?
Our technicians accept cash or check payments on-site. Credit card payments can be processed through our office staff. You may also mail payments to PO Box 834, Wautoma, WI 54982.Do I have a filter? What do I do with it?
Systems installed in 2000 or later typically include a filter. We recommend removing and cleaning your filter every 6 to 12 months to maintain proper system function.How do I know if my tank is full?
When you can see your inlet baffle, the tank is at its normal operating level. Although the tank may appear completely full, visible baffle placement indicates proper function. If the tank level reaches into your riser, comes within one foot of the cover, or overflows from the cover, immediate pumping is necessary.
