What to Know Before Scheduling Septic Pumping in Dauphin, PA


If you’re getting ready to call John Kline Septic Services for Dauphin County septic pumping, a little preparation can help the process go smoothly and ensure your system gets the best possible care. Here are a few simple steps you can take before your appointment:


Access to the Tank

Make sure the area around your septic tank is clear of vehicles, heavy objects, or landscaping so our technicians can easily reach it.

Lid or Riser Location

Know where your septic tank lid or riser is located and whether it’s buried beneath the soil. If you’re not sure where it is, don’t worry—our team has the tools and expertise to locate it quickly.

Tank Capacity

If you know your tank’s capacity (in gallons), it’s helpful to share this information when scheduling your service.

System Age and Maintenance History

Keeping track of when your septic system was last pumped or serviced helps us evaluate its current condition and make accurate maintenance recommendations.

Water Usage Changes

Let us know if your household size or water use has changed significantly, such as adding a new bathroom, hosting guests frequently, or doing extra laundry. These changes can impact how often your tank should be pumped.


If you’re unsure about any of these details, that’s completely fine—many Dauphin County homeowners don’t have all the information, especially if they’ve recently purchased their home. Our technicians are happy to inspect your system, determine your tank’s size and condition, and provide helpful guidance for long-term care.
