Every range this tool can show comes from a named, dated source in our cost guides. Where no verified figure exists, it says so instead of guessing — that’s the point.

Not sure? It’s on your permit’s as-built drawing (your county keeps a copy) or your last pump-out receipt.
How to read these numbers
These are survey ranges, not quotes. Your price moves with lid depth and digging time, time since the last pump-out, and drive distance. The only number that matters is a written quote from a licensed pro on your actual site — get up to three free.
Sources & method
Pumping ranges: Angi Houston cost data (May 2026), Angi national data (Apr 2026), and published Central Texas provider pricing (Dillon Septic, Feb 2026). Repair range: US EPA (2026). Full sourcing and dates live in the cost guides; the calculator shows nothing we couldn’t cite there.
