A family with company coming that week called us with a septic backup. The float in their pump tank had broken free, so the pump never kicked on.
We pumped it down, fixed the float and got them running again.

Good Questions
Septic Care Plan FAQ
Do I need a maintenance contract?
If you have an aerobic (ATU) or other mechanical system, you may. Johnson County, KS can require a maintenance agreement for the life of a mechanical system, with visit records sent to the county, and its inspection when a home sells checks aerated systems' maintenance contract. Missouri's standards also call for regular inspection and maintenance of aerobic units. Our Septic Care Plan covers the visits, and we file Johnson County, KS records for you.
Is pumping included in the Care Plan?
No. When your tank needs pumping, we schedule a licensed pumper and check the work. Pumping is billed separately at $600 to $700, depending on tank size.
Is there a minimum term?
Monthly plans have a 12-month minimum. You can also pay for the year up front: $250 for Standard Care or $450 for Advanced Care.
Is the enrollment fee ever waived?
Yes. The enrollment fee is waived on systems Burns Septic installed.
