You Forget When It Was Last Pumped

The plan puts your system on a schedule so you never have to track it.

02

You've Had a Backup Before

Once is enough. Monitoring and preventive pumping keep it from happening again.

03

You Want Predictable Costs

A low monthly fee instead of an unplanned emergency bill.

04

You Want Priority When It Matters

Members get priority scheduling when an emergency does happen.

05

You're New to Septic

Not sure where you stand?

You don't have to guess — we'll check it for you.

Why Choose Us

Clean, Reliable Septic Service Without the Guesswork.

When you need septic work, you want someone who will show up, explain the problem clearly, and do the job right the first time.

Goodman Septic Services was founded by Ernie Goodman in 1948 and has stayed in local hands ever since — Albert Mauck took over in 1958, his son Alex in 1995, and current owner Bruce Zielsdorf in 2021. Three quarters of a century later we are still pumping, cleaning, inspecting, repairing and installing septic systems across the Portland metro area.

You can count on clear communication, honest recommendations, tidy work around your yard, and service completed to code.

Why a protection plan

A plan puts your septic care on a schedule, so pumping, filter cleaning and checks happen on time without you having to remember. That's the best way to avoid backups and early drainfield failure.

Built for local homes

We set the schedule based on your tank size, household and system type, from city-edge homes in Gresham and Happy Valley to rural pump systems in Corbett and Boring.

"I had excellent service from Goodman on having my septic tank pumped. An old school company that believes in service. They showed up when they were supposed to, and the men that did the work were nice and easy to deal with. I would recommend Goodman to all my friends."

"They were punctual and efficient when pumping out our septic tank. There were no hidden costs, and they were very friendly. My 5 year old told Kyle that he lost a toy car tire down the drain and asked him to find it — he did, and called us after finding it. We will use them again."
