Routine Mound System Septic Pumping in Cologne, MN

2026-07-25 · Cologne, Carver County, MN · Septic Pumping

Problem

This residential property in Cologne, MN was due for routine septic system maintenance. The system consists of two 1,000-gallon septic tanks followed by a 1,000-gallon pump tank that serves a mound system. The septic tanks are located alongside the homeowner's swimming pool, requiring careful hose placement and extra attention to protect the landscaping and surrounding property while completing the service.

Solution

Minnesota Sewer Pros performed a complete maintenance pumping of both 1,000-gallon septic tanks and the 1,000-gallon pump tank. Due to the layout of the property, five sections of vacuum hose were carefully deployed to safely reach the tanks while working around the swimming pool and landscaped areas. After pumping all three tanks, the system was inspected to help ensure the mound system continues operating efficiently. Regular maintenance helps protect the pump, extend the life of the mound drainfield, and reduce the risk of costly repairs.
