Serving West Texas

Want more than just septic pumping in Odessa or Midland?

Full cleaning with rinse and inspection, 24/7 crews, and careful yard protection.
At a Glance

We clean septic tanks across Odessa and Midland. Unlike simple pump-outs, cleaning removes leftover sludge and scum after pumping. A typical cleaning visit takes 45 to 90 minutes, depending on tank size and lid depth. Most homes need service every 3 to 5 years.

Service Description

What you get with septic cleaning

  • Both compartments pumped and lightly rinsed
  • Residual sludge and scum broken up and removed
  • Baffles and filters inspected for wear
  • Yard protected with boards or mats, site left tidy

This level of cleaning keeps your system running longer and helps protect your drain field from premature failure.

How septic cleaning works

  1. Locate and uncover lids, or use an existing riser
  2. Pump out both compartments completely
  3. Lightly rinse tank walls to dislodge scum and solids
  4. Inspect baffles and effluent filters
  5. Apply treatment if needed
  6. Backfill, clean up the site, and record the next recommended service interval

What affects price and time

  • Tank size: most homes use 1,000–1,500 gallon tanks
  • Access: buried lids, decks, or long hose runs add labor
  • Solids load: overdue service requires more rinsing
  • Emergency calls: urgent dispatch adds cost

The cost for typical cleaning jobs depend on tank size and condition. For exact pricing, call before we dispatch a truck.

Cleaning vs pumping — why it matters

  • Pumping only: removes liquids and some solids, but leaves residue behind
  • Cleaning: includes rinsing and inspection, giving your system a true reset

Many companies advertise cleaning but only pump. At Lucky’s, cleaning means you’re getting the thorough service your tank actually needs.

Is it time for cleaning or just a blockage?

  • Tank needs cleaning: odors in the yard, soggy ground near the tank, gurgling in multiple drains
  • Likely a blockage: one fixture backs up first while others work fine

We can diagnose on site so you don’t pay for the wrong fix.
