Septic Tank Cleaning In & Around Rochester, Minnesota

Septic cleaning plays an essential role in keeping your system in good condition. Most home and business owners know they need to pump their septic tank every few years—but what many don’t realize is that pumping only removes the liquid and floating waste, not the hardened sludge and buildup stuck to the tank walls or deep in the system. That’s where septic cleaning comes in.

Without a thorough cleaning, buildup gradually narrows the flow of wastewater, strains your system, and increases the risk of slow drains, sewage odors, and even complete system failure. A professional cleaning removes these hidden blockages and restores your system to full capacity.

High-Pressure Jet Cleaning

High-pressure jetting is an aggressive yet precise method that uses a concentrated stream of water to break apart and flush out layers of hardened sludge, grease, and other waste clinging to the tank walls, inlet, outlet, and connected pipes. This technique is especially effective for cleaning out clogs and restoring normal flow through your system. It’s also excellent for clearing lines that have developed buildup over time, especially when regular pumping hasn’t been enough to keep things moving.

Electric Drain Cleaning

Electric cleaning takes things a step further. Using specialized rotary equipment powered by electric motors, we’re able to physically scrape away compacted waste, solidified debris, and even mineral deposits that water pressure alone can’t remove. This method is ideal for older systems or tanks that haven’t been cleaned in a long time. It’s also the best solution when root intrusion or thick, stubborn waste needs to be physically cut away and removed.

When to Schedule a Full Septic Cleaning

Knowing when to schedule a full septic cleaning can save you from unexpected issues and expensive repairs. While pumping handles routine maintenance, a deep clean is essential to keep your system running efficiently—especially when signs of trouble start to appear. The time is right for a septic cleaning if:

 

  • It’s been 3–5 years since your last full clean

  • You’re noticing slow drains, foul odors, or wet spots in the yard

  • Your system backs up shortly after pumping

  • You’re buying or selling a home and want to avoid surprises

  • You want to extend the lifespan of your system and avoid costly repairs
