What to Know Before Scheduling Septic Pumping in York, PA


If you’re getting ready to call John Kline Septic Services for York, PA septic pumping, here are a few things that can help the process go smoothly and ensure your system gets the best care:


  • 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 tank lid or riser is located and whether it’s buried under the soil. If it’s difficult to find, don’t worry—our team can locate it for you.
  • Tank Capacity – If you know how many gallons your tank holds, it’s helpful to share this when scheduling.
  • System Age & Maintenance History – Keeping track of when your system was last pumped or serviced gives us a better picture of its current condition.
  • Water Usage Changes – Let us know if your household size or water usage has changed significantly. Extra laundry, long showers, or added bathrooms can impact how often your tank needs service.


If you’re not sure about these details, that’s perfectly normal. Many York homeowners don’t have all the information, especially if they recently bought their home. Our technicians are happy to inspect your system, determine the size of your tank, and give you helpful pointers for future maintenance. It’s also smart to keep a simple sketch or diagram of your septic system layout. This can save time later, especially if you’re considering home improvements like adding a patio, planting trees, or installing a shed.


For reliable York, PA septic pumping, John Kline Septic Services is here to make the process simple and stress-free—while helping you protect your system for years to come.
