Septic Tank Pumping & Septic Services in Reno & Sparks, NV
Septic pumping, inspections, repairs and leach field installation in Reno & Sparks since 1979.
Septic Tank Pumping in Reno & Sparks
Easy Rooter Plumbing pumps septic tanks for homes and businesses across Reno, Sparks, Spanish Springs and the rest of Washoe County. Over time, sludge and solids build up in every tank. If they are not pumped out, they reach the leach field, cause backups and lead to expensive repairs. Our crews pump the tank, check its condition and tell you when the next service is due.
We are state-licensed (#0084079/A-15 Sewers, Drains, and Pipes; #0026656A/C-1 Plumbing & Heating), bonded and insured, and we have serviced Northern Nevada septic systems since 1979. From routine pumping and inspections to repairs and leach field installation, one local team handles your whole system.

How Often Should You Pump Your Septic Tank?
Most septic tanks need pumping every 3 to 5 years, depending on tank size, household size and water use. Homes with garbage disposals or more people need it more often. Buying a home? Have the system pumped and inspected before closing so you know its condition.
Need your tank pumped? We also offer 24/7 emergency septic pumping, so call (775) 331-3636 any time, day or night.
Septic System Installation & Replacement in Reno & Sparks
Building on a new lot or dealing with a system that keeps failing? Easy Rooter installs new septic systems and replaces old or undersized ones across Reno, Sparks and Washoe County before they cause backups, odors or property damage. We size the tank and leach field to your property and handle the permits.
Septic System Installation Cost in Reno
In the Reno area, septic system installation usually costs $8,000 to $25,000. Complex or engineered systems can cost $30,000 to $50,000 or more. These are estimates; your cost depends on your property and system requirements.
The total cost depends on several factors, including -
- Tank size and type
- Household or commercial wastewater use
- Soil and drainage conditions
- Leach field size
- Site access and excavation needs
- Materials, labor, engineering, and permit fees
A residential system on open land may cost less than replacing a damaged system in a tight or difficult area. At Easy Rooter Plumbing, we inspect your property first and provide an estimate before starting the work, so you don’t have to worry about hidden costs.
Our Septic Installation Process
We keep the process simple -
- Inspect the property and existing system
- Plan the tank size and leach field layout
- Complete the required permit process
- Install the tank, lines, and leach field
- Test the system and confirm proper operation
After installation, we show you how to care for the new system and when to schedule its first pumping.
Septic Permits in Washoe County
Yes. New septic systems and major repairs or replacements need a permit before work begins. In Washoe County (Reno, Sparks and surrounding areas), permits are handled by Northern Nevada Public Health's Environmental Health Services. For properties outside Washoe County, see the Nevada Onsite Sewage Disposal System Program. We handle the permit process for you on every installation.
Leach Field Installation & Repair in Reno & Sparks
The leach field (drain field) is where treated wastewater soaks into the soil. When it starts to fail, you'll see soggy ground, bright green or spongy grass over the field, sewage odors outside, or backups soon after the tank was pumped.
Our Reno septic contractors can help you choose a system that fits your property without recommending work or equipment you do not need. If you’re tired of looking for a reliable septic system installation online, we’re here to help you get the right system installed with confidence.
Septic Tank & System Repair in Reno & Sparks
Not every septic problem needs a new system. Most repairs start with pumping the tank so we can see inside, followed by a camera inspection of the lines. We fix broken or corroded baffles, cracked tanks and lids, damaged lines, clogged effluent filters, and failed septic pumps and alarms.
Older or badly damaged systems may need replacement to stop repeat failures. We give you an honest recommendation based on the system's condition, age and performance. Here's how to tell which one you need:
