Are you getting only half your septic tank pumped and paying full price?? Your septic tank has two separate chambers and there is a top cap access for each half. If you only expose one cap or only have the septic hauler dig up one cap, you’ll have only half of your tank emptied. The Shiawassee County Environmental Health Department recommends that you have both chambers of the septic tank emptied by the hauler. This also allows for a more thorough inspection of the internal parts for failures.
