Routine Mound System Septic Pumping & Effluent Filter Cleaning in Glencoe, MN

2026-07-30 · Glencoe, Mc Cloud County, MN · Septic Pumping & Effluent Filter Cleaning

Problem

This residential septic system in Glencoe, MN was due for its scheduled preventative maintenance. The system consists of two 1,000-gallon septic tanks followed by a 1,000-gallon pump tank serving a mound system. An effluent filter located in the second septic tank required routine cleaning to maintain proper wastewater flow and help protect both the pump tank and mound drainfield. All three tanks were equipped with concrete manhole covers at grade, allowing easy access for regular maintenance without excavation.

Solution

Minnesota Sewer Pros completed a full maintenance pumping of both 1,000-gallon septic tanks and the 1,000-gallon pump tank. The effluent filter in the second septic tank was removed, thoroughly cleaned, inspected, and reinstalled to ensure proper operation. Because all three tanks had concrete manhole covers at grade, the entire service was completed efficiently with no digging required. Routine septic pumping and effluent filter cleaning help protect the mound system, extend the life of the septic components, and reduce the risk of backups and costly repairs.
