You would contact a Skagit County Licensed Designer, obtain a county permit and then contact installers for a bid. The Drain Doctor provides installation services for most designs and we are glad to give a bid. Call to receive one or to hear about our septic tank pumping prices.

In order to keep septic tank pumping prices down, refrain from flushing harmful materials, do not flush wipes, paper towels, etc. Do not pay for additives, as they rarely make a difference. Call for more tips!
