Al's Laconia Septic Tank Service, telephone 524-4777, is a one truck, owner-operator business, and Al drives the truck and does the work of pumping etc; he charged me $190 to pump out a 750-gal tank after first telling me that it would probably cost about $225 over the phone. That's probably because most distribution tanks installed since about 1980 are usually 1000-gal, and go for the $225 pump-out price.
As already mentioned earlier in another thread, Lamprey Septic in Moultonborough told me it would cost $1500-1800 to replace a septic pump and the check valve and about 4' of pvc pipe and fittings inside the smaller remote tank at the bottom of the hill. Going to Lowe's Home Improvement in Gilford, an identical pump can be purchased for $225, if you want to do that yourself........and "never stop improving!" ....
