Questions from septic teams.

Visit the Help Center

Can I schedule routine tank pumping?

Yes. Create a recurring job for the tank and choose how often pump-outs repeat. Each visit keeps the tank's location, lid depth and sludge notes.

Can I use my price book and offer optional items?

Yes. The price book prices pump-outs, inspections and repairs on the tech's phone, and an estimate can carry optional items the customer picks on the estimate itself, like an inspection with the pump-out or a lid riser. Every unaccepted estimate stays in one list until the customer accepts or declines.

How do deposits and customer payments work?

Customers pay by card from the invoice you email them, straight into your own Stripe account. A deposit on drain field work is recorded against that invoice, and so are partial payments, cash and checks.

Can I mix residential and commercial work?

Yes. Restaurants, campgrounds and property portfolios keep several properties, on the same records as your residential book. Each invoice carries its own payment terms, such as Net 30. Open estimates and outstanding invoices show in your reports.

What can I bring over from my current system?

Your customers come over from the app you use now or a spreadsheet, along with their jobs and invoices. You check a preview before anything is added, and everything you enter stays yours. See how switching works.

What does setup involve for my crew?

Create the account, add each person with a role, and they sign in on their own phones. The Help Center walks through each step, and the support page has chat, email and the support line when you want a hand.
