Pumping, NAWT certified inspections, sewer line repair and tank replacement for homes and businesses on septic, from Golden up to Bailey.
Foothills Septic Pumping, Inc.
Locating, thawing, excavating, inspections, tank repairs and tank replacement. That list rides on the side of our red Peterbilt, right under the phone number that rings our office.
Our founders have been in the septic pumping business for more than 32 years. We pump, inspect and repair residential and commercial systems, fully licensed and insured, and the customers who call us tend to keep calling. One had us replace her tank more than a decade ago and still has us back to pump it.

Inspections
Our inspections are NAWT certified, and Jefferson County lists us as a certified maintenance provider. Call early so the inspection isn't the thing holding up your closing.
“Getting ready to sell my home and will call only them for an inspection/septic service.”

Holding tanks
A holding tank has no leach field, so it fills up and has to be pumped on a schedule. Some of our regular customers are on one, and they call us when it's time.
“This was the first time I'd ever had to have something like this done and they were very understanding and answered all of my calls and questions.”
