Tank Pumping

Ritter & Ritter, Inc. provides sewer pumping services to residential customers in Aitkin, McGregor, Mille Lacs Lake, and Surrounding Areas. Our trained & knowledgeable technicians empty your tanks, check for broken or damaged baffles, and perform a visual assessment of your field each time to diagnose possible septic problems before they get serious.

Our Septic Service Guidelines:  

·  We use the main access for routine cleaning. Inspection ports are never used for pumping.

·  We will observe the liquid level in the tank to determine if it is above the outlet.

·  We will notify you if septage flows back into the tank from the drain field.

·  We will observe and note any defective septic system components and promptly report them to you.

·  We will notify you if lush vegetation or sewage breakout is observed above the septic system.

·  We will observe sewage flow from the house into the treatment tank. If any corrective actions are needed we will report these to you.

·  We will discuss and recommend adequate maintenance service frequency with you.

We will notify you in advance if we cannot keep our scheduled appointment.

The capacity of our trucks range from 3800-5000 gallons.  

Services available Monday-Friday

Saturday by appointment only.

Sunday and Emergency After Hours Service is also available.

Line Jetting

One of the areas we at Ritter & Ritter specialize in, is the cleaning of Residential Sewer Lines. Numerous things can clog your sewer lines. A list of these would include tree roots, dirt, minerals, sludge, and miscellaneous objects. Left unattended these minor problems could potentially turn into major construction projects and cost your family money that could have been spent on other needed expenses.

Utilizing the features of our Jet Truck, experienced technicians insert a high pressure water hose (fitted with a nozzle that the given situation calls for) into the sewer line to clean and remove the debris. The technicians then insert a camera into the line to guarantee that the line was successfully cleaned.

Power Rooting

When a sewer line is blocked with tree roots, line jetting may not be enough. In these situations the technicians use a process called power rooting. This process involves pushing a cable, equipped with expanded cutters, through the sewer line to cut out the tree roots. The line will then be televised to ensure that the roots have been removed.
