I didn't have the tank pumped out or inspected when I bought the house, but it's not that old. (2005) I was meaning to have it pumped out this summer, but it slipped my mind because I was enjoying sailing on the lake so much!!
Anyway Lakes Region Septic came in about $30 less than DJs with no add-on costs.

That is the reason I use Lakes Region Septic.
You should have a filter on the exit side of your tank and they will clean it for you. It might be a good idea to watch him do it so that you can do it yourself between each cleaning. Some people just can't do it but I think it's good insurance to keep the filter clean. I always clean my filter every year and have the tank pumped every three years. I have one of those plastic green risers that goes on top of the hole at the exit end. It sticks above the ground and all you have to do is take a few screws out to remove the cover.
