    It will vary depending on how far the truck must come and how large your tank is.

    Get out the yellow pages and call a few to learn if they are willing to give you and estimate.

    Or, do the yahoo yellow pages for septic and see what you get!!!

    Last time it cost me $110. I live ten miles from the nearest city limits........

    You are looking at some were between $100 and $300 depending on were you live and how far they need to travel.

    You need to call all the services in the yellow pages to see who will give you the best price. Some times you can get them into a bidding war by letting them know that there competition is cheaper. Good luck.

    Labor rates change depending on the area. You will need to call a couple places to get an estimate. Sorry.

    It is usually about $100.00. It depends on if your tank has above ground access or if they have to dig a bit. Digging will cost a bit more.
