Septic Tank Pumping
Our comprehensive pumping service removes accumulated solids and scum using powered mixers to ensure complete tank emptying. We measure pumped volume with calibrated meters, inspect baffles, and provide detailed records. Technicians check pumps for debris, clean impellers, and reinstall components properly. Customers receive location stickers and automated reminders for future maintenance, helping prevent system failures through regular service.
System Evaluations
NAWT-certified technicians perform thorough evaluations for property sales, regulatory compliance, and system health assessments. We examine tank integrity, drainfield condition, and component functionality while verifying adherence to DEQ requirements. Our evaluations identify potential issues before they become emergencies, ensuring systems meet environmental standards and property owners maintain regulatory compliance through documented inspections.
Emergency Repairs
Available around the clock for urgent septic system failures, our emergency service addresses backups, overflows, and system malfunctions. Trained technicians respond promptly with specialized equipment to resolve issues affecting property safety and functionality. We prioritize rapid diagnosis and repairs while maintaining compliance with environmental regulations, minimizing disruption to residential and commercial operations during critical situations.
Maintenance Contracts
Customizable O&M contracts provide scheduled maintenance for residential and commercial systems, including advanced treatment technologies. Services range from routine pumping to comprehensive inspections of electrical components, drainfields, and treatment units. Contracts ensure regulatory compliance, extend system lifespan, and prevent costly failures through proactive management tailored to each property's specific requirements and usage patterns.
Camera Inspections
Using digital camera technology, we perform detailed drainline and drainfield diagnostics to identify blockages, root intrusion, and structural damage. Our electronic locating equipment precisely maps system components for accurate repairs. This non-invasive method reduces excavation needs while providing clear visual documentation of system conditions, enabling targeted interventions that maintain system integrity and regulatory compliance.

The nicest people! We had a minor septic emergency and the office workers and line techs were all amazing. Quickly getting out to us and working through a day to get the septic working again. We appreciated all their efforts and will continue to use them for our septic needs.

A & B Septic saved the day! On a rainy cold Saturday morning we woke to find our septic system had backed up with sewage in the crawl space. This company was the fastest at returning my call and comiting to show up same day. Josh drove from Albany to Newberg, removed the clog in our sewer main and pumped the septic tank, showed us pictures of the intake and outflow of the tank and verified the drain field's integrity.
Great customer service from Josh, which can seam rare now days. He was careful about not cracking concrete or driving on a lawn with a sprinkler system with the tank truck. A&B does not go under the house and the sewage cleanup will be done by WaterBear. He also documents exactly where the tank lid is located. Do yourself a future favor and pump you septic every 6 years!

If you need great service and a great laugh, have Jose come out! Very friendly, very professional and has a great sense of humor. My 2-year-old and I watched him do his thing and he talked to her the whole time, making her laugh but maintaining great professionalism. Service: Sewer repair

When my sand filter septic system stopped pumping, I called several repair firms who all had long wait times which would mean we were without a sewer system in our house. A&B came out the first business day and got the tanks pumped, cleaned, system replaced in a most efficient and professional manner. The vehicles were new and spotless and the crew were very enjoyable to work with. I couldn't be more pleased and recommend them very highly.
