Boots on the ground — not a call center. When you call Pump, the crew that answers is the crew that shows up.
Three ways
we show up.
Pump-outs, inspections, and emergency repairs — all performed by the same TCEQ-registered crew that's been doing this in Lamar County since 2002.
Routine pumping before the yard talks back.
Texas recommends pumping every 3–5 years. We show up on time, handle the hose, haul the waste to an approved disposal site, and leave a dated service record — the one your county inspector wants to see. Most residential tanks in Lamar County run 1,000–1,500 gallons. Our vacuum trucks handle both conventional anaerobic systems and aerobic treatment units without you lifting a finger.
- 1,000–2,500 gal capacity trucks
- Dated TCEQ service record included
- Same-week availability most weeks
- Aerobic & conventional systems
The inspection that closes deals and prevents disasters.
Real estate agents call us the week before closing. Property managers call us when tenants start complaining. Homeowners call us when the drain field smells like last Tuesday's bad decision. We inspect the tank, lids, baffles, distribution box, and drain field. We document everything in a written report that satisfies Lamar County's authorized agent requirements and most lender checklists.
- Full written inspection report
- Satisfies Lamar County OSSF requirements
- Real estate pre-closing specialization
- Pass/fail + recommended repairs
When the backup isn't waiting — neither are we.
Slow drains, sewage surfacing near the drain field, gurgling pipes — these are the signs a failing system sends before it floods your yard or triggers a county complaint. After a complaint, you have 30 days to show substantial progress before it goes to the justice of the peace. We repair distribution boxes, replace broken baffles, install risers, rehabilitate drain fields, and handle emergency call-outs across Lamar County. Emergency repairs can begin without a permit but must be reported within 72 hours — we handle that paperwork for you.
- Emergency same-day response available
- Distribution box & baffle replacement
- Drain field rehabilitation
- Permit reporting handled for you
What Lamar County
homeowners say.
"Called Monday morning with a backup situation. Dave and his crew were at my place by Wednesday. They pumped, inspected, and told me exactly what was wrong with my distribution box. Fixed it same visit. Couldn't ask for better."
"Used Pump for a pre-closing inspection on a 12-acre property I was listing. The report was detailed, professional, and the buyer's lender accepted it without question. Closing happened on time. These guys know exactly what realtors need."
"Been using Pump for routine pumping since 2018. They show up when they say they will, leave the yard clean, and always leave me a paper record for my files. Straightforward, honest, no upsells."
"I manage 14 rental properties in Lamar County. Pump handles all of them. When a tenant calls with a slow drain complaint, I call Pump. They're reliable, priced fairly, and the service records they provide keep me compliant with county requirements."
"My aerobic system needed attention. The TCEQ inspector had flagged it. Pump knew exactly what the county required, got the repairs done right, and filed the 72-hour report on my behalf. Saved me a lot of headache."
We know the code
better than the county.
Most homeowners don't know Texas Health and Safety Code § 366 from a fence post. That's fine — that's our job. Twenty-three years of pulling permits, filing reports, and navigating TCEQ inspections means we've seen every scenario Lamar County can throw at a septic system.
When you hire Pump, you're hiring the crew that writes the service record the county inspector wants to see.
