John sits down with Micah Findley (HomeField) to talk about building a national brand in one of the most overlooked trades: The Septic Pumping Business. From pricing thousand-gallon pumps to dump fees, grease traps, and service agreements, this is the real playbook for scaling a modern Septic Pumping operation.

They unpack the entire stack—how a Septic Truck Business goes beyond “just pumping” into repairs, installs, commercial work, and recurring maintenance—plus route density, transfer (frac) tanks, land application vs treatment plants, AR policies, and the software/marketing engines (LSA, PPC, ServiceTitan/Housecall Pro) that drive profitable Septic Pumping growth.

💡 What You’ll Learn

-The septic stack: pumping → repairs → installs → commercial → grease

-Pricing pumps when dump fees, fuel, and labor vary by market

-Service agreements that stabilize cash flow and boost LTV

-Capacity building: route density, day/night shifts, and transfer tanks

-Vertical integration: land application vs full treatment plants (CapEx math)

-Tech & marketing: LSA, PPC, map pack, and card-on-file AR policies

-Hiring/training techs in a niche trade and standardizing KPIs
