Question:
Who charges extra for those tanks that are solid from top to bottom? How much do you charge?
Answers:
We usually charge by the hour, but used to charge for each extra backflush. If the customer warns me ahead of time, I will bring some septage from one of my yearly customers to backflush the heavy tank to stir it up once I have pumped it part way down first. I have opened the distribution box on some heavy tanks and jetted them out if solids made it to the field. A broken baffle in a heavy tank is a real concern.
