Septic Tank Pumping Services Charleston, SC

Knight’s Septic Tank Inc. was established in 1969 by Bud Knight. He only had one pump truck to service septic tanks in the Summerville tri-county area, but his vision and business grew quickly. He started in the pumping service, then expanded his company to include installing and eventually manufacturing his own septic tanks.

Producing the concrete and precasting the tanks eventually led to the Knight’s Redi-Mix division and the Knight’s Precast division. His commitment to providing the best service to his clients fueled the expansion of his company and continues to keep it a successful business.

Our team of licensed septic tank engineers and technicians bring over 30 years of combined experience to every job.

Schedule Regular Service to Avoid Costly Issues

Just because you aren’t having problems with your septic tank doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have it serviced. Tanks should be pumped out every 3 to 5 years, or if you have a garbage disposal, even more regularly to avoid having solid waste leak into the discharge system, resulting in untreated wastewater in your yard or sewage backup in your home.
