Septic Tank Pumping in Munster & Northwest Indiana
Feikema Plumbing & Sanitation has pumped septic tanks for Northwest Indiana homeowners since 1956. We're a family-owned, residential septic pumping service — no well water work, no subcontractors, just decades of local know-how. Every job starts with locating your tank and digging down to the access lid, then pumping it out the same visit.
What's Included in a Septic Pumping Visit
Locating your tank and digging down to expose the access lid is part of the septic service we perform — that labor is billed at $120 per hour, since some tanks sit right at the surface and others take real time to reach. Once the lid is open, we pump the tank and do a visual check of its condition before closing everything back up.
Is Septic Tank Pumping Right for Your Property?
This service covers residential septic tank pumping only. If your property's water supply comes from a private well, that's a separate system from your septic tank, and well water service isn't something we offer. For homes on a standard residential septic system, regular pumping is one of the simplest ways to avoid a backup.
How Much Does Septic Tank Pumping Cost?
Every septic tank is different — some sit right at the surface, others are buried deep or under a deck, driveway, or landscaping. Locating and digging to the tank is billed at $120 per hour, and the pumping itself is quoted by the job based on how accessible your tank is — so we don't post a flat price list. Call (219) 838-5618 and tell us about your setup; we'll walk you through the cost before we start.
