Septic Tank Pumping
Septic tank pumping removes the sludge and scum that build up in every tank, so solids never reach the drainfield. Call (812) 564-0540 to schedule a visit from our Shelburn crew.

Septic Tank Services Wabash Valley Owners Count On
Wabash Valley Septic and Drain provides septic system services in Terre Haute, IN, Sullivan, Brazil, Clinton, Rockville, Shelburn and the rural roads between them. Outside the city sewer lines, most homes, farms and small businesses treat their own wastewater, and every one of those systems needs regular attention to keep working.
A septic system is simple on paper. Wastewater flows into a buried tank, the solids settle to the bottom, and the liquid moves on to a drainfield where the soil finishes the job. Trouble starts when the tank fills with sludge, a part wears out, or the drainfield gets more water than it can take.
Our septic tank services cover each of those problems: emptying the tank on a sensible schedule, finding and fixing failures, and helping owners care for the system between visits. We work on existing systems only and do not put in new septic systems.
What We Do
Septic System Services for Terre Haute, IN Properties
Every septic job we take starts with the same goal: a system that drains, stays out of the yard and lasts for decades. Our septic system services in Terre Haute, IN and across the valley work toward that goal from different directions. Pumping keeps solids from reaching the drainfield, repairs bring a failing system back, and maintenance stretches the time between big problems.
Homeowners and business owners need different things from a septic crew. A family wants a clean yard and working drains; a business needs restrooms that stay open for customers and staff.

How It Works
Our Septic Service Process From Call to Cleanup
A clear process keeps the visit short and the yard tidy. We locate the tank before the truck arrives when we can, explain what we find in plain terms, and leave the site clean.
-
Step 1
Tell Us What Is Happening
Call (812) 564-0540 and describe the problem, the last time the tank was pumped and how many people use the system. That helps us bring the right equipment the first time.
-
Step 2
Locate and Open the Tank
Our crew finds the tank lids, uncovers them with care and checks the liquid level. A high level or a slow draining tank tells us a lot before the pumping even starts.
-
Step 3
Pump, Check and Repair
We empty the tank, look over the baffles and the lines we can reach, and walk you through any repair that is needed before we do it.
-
Step 4
Close Up and Plan Ahead
We close the lids, clean up the work area and suggest when the next service should happen, based on your tank and how much it is used.

Indiana Septic Rules and Your System
Septic systems in Indiana are regulated, not just a private matter between a homeowner and a contractor. Residential onsite sewage systems fall under the Indiana Department of Health rule 410 IAC 6-8.3, and county health departments handle the permits and records for them.
That matters when a system fails or a property changes hands. A good septic crew knows when a repair can go ahead and when the county should be involved, and keeps clear records of what was pumped and fixed. If you are searching for a septic tank company near me that already works within these rules, our crew is based right here in Sullivan County.
Towns We Serve From Shelburn
Our trucks run up and down the U.S. 41 corridor and out into the county roads on both sides. We provide septic service in Terre Haute, Sullivan, Brazil, Clinton, Rockville and our home town of Shelburn.
Each town has its own mix of older farmhouses, newer homes on large lots and small businesses outside the sewer lines. Septic system services in Terre Haute, IN and these neighboring towns follow the same careful routine, wherever the tank happens to be.
Septic System Questions From Wabash Valley Owners
Which septic service do I need if I am not sure what is wrong?
Start with a phone call, and we will help you sort it out. Slow drains, odors and wet spots in the yard can point to a full tank, a broken part or a struggling drainfield. We ask when the tank was last pumped and what you are seeing, then recommend pumping, a repair visit or both, so you do not pay for work the system does not need.
Do you put in new septic systems?
No, we do not put in new septic systems. Our work is keeping existing systems running through pumping, repair and maintenance. If your property needs a brand new system, the county health department can explain the permit process, and we can take over the care of the system once it is in service and working.
Will you work with my insurance company on septic damage?
Yes, we work with insurance companies. When a septic backup damages a home or a business, we can document what we found and what we repaired so you have clear records to share with your insurer. Coverage depends on your own policy, so check with your agent about what is included before the work begins if you can.
Is financing available for septic work?
Yes, financing is available. A failed part or a damaged line can arrive at a bad time, and spreading the cost out can make it easier to fix the problem right away instead of waiting. Ask about financing when you call to schedule, and we will explain the options before any work starts on your septic system.
