Septic Pumping in Kingsland & the Hill Country
When your septic tank is full, backing up, or just overdue, you need a crew that shows up fast and gets it pumped out right the first time. Kinards Plumbing & Septic Hill Country runs a 1,500‑gallon pump truck serving Kingsland and the surrounding Hill Country within about 50 miles.
Family‑owned since 1989, Kinards offers 24‑hour service, same‑day pumping when you call before 1 PM, and a real person on the other end of the phone—no call center, no forms, just neighbors helping neighbors.
“If You Can Dump It, We Can Pump It”
Septic pumping is dirty work, but it doesn’t have to be a headache. Kinards handles routine maintenance pumping and emergency pump‑outs for homes and small businesses across the Hill Country, from lake houses and cabins to full‑time family homes.
Our 1,500‑gallon truck has the capacity to pump most residential tanks in a single visit, and the owner is on site to keep you informed about what we’re seeing while the tank is open.
How Often Should You Pump Your Septic Tank?
Most Hill Country homes need septic pumping every 3–5 years, depending on the size of the tank, how many people are in the house, and how hard the system is working.
If you use a garbage disposal heavily, have a big family, or run laundry and dishwashers often, you may need to pump more frequently. Waiting too long can push solids into the drain field and turn a simple pump‑out into a big repair bill.
If you can’t remember the last time your tank was pumped, it’s time to schedule it.
Signs Your Septic Tank Needs Pumping
Call or text Kinards if you notice:
- Slow drains all over the house (sinks, tubs, showers, toilets)
- Gurgling sounds in drains or toilets when water is running
- Sewage smells in the house or around the tank area
- Standing water or squishy spots near the tank or drain field
- Sewage backing up into tubs, showers, or floor drains
These are classic signs that your tank is full or your system is overloaded and needs attention before things get worse.
What’s Included in a Pump Out
A proper pump‑out is more than just sticking a hose in the tank and leaving. Kinards takes the time to do it right and look for problems while we’re there.
Our pumping service includes:
- Locating and uncovering the tank (if accessible)
- Pumping out up to 1,500 gallons of liquid and solids
- Breaking up and removing heavy sludge as needed
- A visual check of the tank’s condition, baffles, and lids
- Basic feedback on what we see and whether repairs or further inspection might be needed
When we’re done, we secure the lids and do our best to leave the yard as tidy as the job allows.
