What’s Wrong With
This Marketing Picture?
Are You By Jim Kneiszel, Editor
Oxidizing
A
s consumers are bombarded with so many messages from compa-
nies offering products and services, effective marketing might be as
Drainfields? critical to your company’s success as expertise in septic service. You

want to get noticed above the din created by a growing number of competi-
tors offering similar pumping services. So a strong message about your pro-
fessionalism is important.
But one pumping company’s marketing efforts I noticed recently raised
a red flag. Let’s see if you have the same reaction I did.
PROMISES, PROMISES
On the front page of its website, Unnamed Pumping Co. notes it has 20
years of experience providing quality septic services. The company boasts
that its courteous, friendly, skilled technicians use “the finest tools and ma-
terials’’ available. It lists an impressive array of services and added, “We work
harder and smarter than our competition. We are at the forefront of the in-

every customer and reasonable, affordable rates. “We meet or beat any writ-

WWW.LENZYME.COM Man, if I need my tank pumped in this company’s service territory, I’m
on the phone faster than you can say scheduled maintenance saves septic
systems.
So what’s wrong with this picture? I’ll tell you what’s wrong: Providing
the best service with the best technicians using the best tools doesn’t jive
with guaranteeing the lowest price for service. The question I’d ask this con-
tractor is: If you’ve worked so hard to be the best, why are you charging like a
mediocre service provider?
First of all, the best tools come at a price. Keeping your truck fleet up
to date and well maintained isn’t cheap. I know many pumpers who are re-
ligious about planned replacement of vehicles, washing rigs at the end of
every day and keeping careful track of engine maintenance. Many keep their
Tanks and trucks to fit your needs! trucks indoors at night and have a mechanic on staff to ensure efficient op-

And let’s address hiring and retaining quality technicians. That takes

WITH DROP AXLE times health insurance benefits. Maintaining a dedicated, trustworthy
workforce is expensive and requires a lot of time on the part of company
owners and managers.
Cutting-edge technology and being able to offer diversified services
TRAILER MOUNTED VAC/PRESSURE TANKS also raises the cost of doing business for pumping contractors. If you want
to inspect sewer lines, handle grease trap waste, jet out lines and make sep-
tic system repairs, you’ll be loading up on accessories to do the job right.

So as a consumer, am I to believe a company that makes all those prom-

for Current Inventory! — and most of this company’s potential customers — didn’t just fall off the
turnip truck. We know that you can’t be the best and the cheapest and stay
in business for 20 years. So either this company can’t live up to its service
promises or the bill is going to come in higher than I expect. And neither
answer will make customers happy.
My advice to pumpers everywhere: If you’re a top-notch service pro-
vider, don’t act like a cut-rate contractor. Seldom is the cheapest also the
best. The economics of that equation just don’t add up. ■

FLORIDA’S MANDATORY PUMPING

The Nesenmans are watching a pointed
political debate play out in their state, one
they say could have impacts, both positive
and negative, on the future of their business.
“In July, a new mandatory pump-out
law will kick-in across Florida. Every treat-
ment tank will be on a five-year pump-out
schedule. The purpose of this law is to protect
Florida’s groundwater,” Jason says. It will have
the secondary effect of forcing people to do
the right thing regarding proper maintenance.
“This will make our business grow,” Brittnie
says, “but there are downsides.
Would-be septic contractors “will see this
as an opportunity to make a ‘fast buck’ and get
into the business,” Jason says. The Nesenmans
believe they could see the number of pumper
businesses double in the next few years. This is
not the type of competition they look forward
to. Competing with other professionals is one

Pumper: How did you become interested in

studying drain flies?
Long: We were accustomed to finding drain
flies in newer, shallower systems, and I wondered
if that was because they were closer to oxygen. We
never found drain flies in previously unopened
tanks, but they appeared after we installed risers on
them. It seems to be an oxygen issue.
Then customers began calling with backed-
up systems that were three months old. None of
them knew that they had an effluent filter. When
I cleaned the screens, I noticed black particles
on them, but didn’t pay much attention. One
customer called back two months later with
the same complaint. Then he called again. This
time I disassembled the filter, examined it with
a magnifying glass, and saw thousands of dead
and dying flies plugging the filter. As I continued
my investigation, I saw the same scenario and
also noticed that if the filter was totally plugged,
drain fly larvae lived at the top where there was
no effluent.
The problem appears to be the filter’s design,
and Cochise County has mostly one brand. I’m

Pumper: What motivated you to publish a

quarterly e-newsletter?
Long: I wanted customers to become more
aware of maintenance issues and to provide facts
that would help pumpers become better service
providers. Anyone can subscribe for free at www.
americansepticservice.com. The information is
general enough to apply to most septic systems.
My inspiration began at conferences where I’d
hear pumpers say, “We opened the tank and
there was nothing in it, not even water, so we
didn’t need to pump it.” Well, tanks must have
water or there’s a problem. My next newsletter is

Yooper Septic & Waste

Rapid River, Mich.
O
wner John deVeaux started his new septic service business by
outfitting this snappy red, white and blue 2004 Freightliner M2
vacuum rig built out from a generic box truck by Imperial Industries
Inc. The truck has a 2,300-gallon steel tank combined with a Masport
360-cfm liquid-cooled pump for use on septic systems and portable
restrooms. The truck is powered by a Caterpillar 3126E 230-hp engine tied
to a Fuller 6-speed transmission. Designed for cold-weather service and
land-spreading, the truck has heated valves, an Imperial screen/filter with
38-degree deflector and handy air switches to open and close rear valves
from the cab. Imperial painted the tank. The cab was painted by Ward’s
Auto Body. Vinyl graphics are from Meier’s Signs. The interior has leather
seats, air-ride, stereo, air conditioning and TomTom GPS. ■

• The industry’s interests are often steamrolled by better-funded and organized In 2008, according to the EPA’s website, the total amount of assistance provided by
interest groups when securing more favorable regulation and support. the fund through loans, grants and other means was slightly more than $5.5 billion.

Virtually all of the remaining funding goes to municipal sewer projects. The EPA
claims that 4 percent of SRF assistance goes to onsite projects, but the agency
has not made public any data supporting that claim. Further, abundant anecdotal
evidence suggests that much of the funding labeled as onsite/decentralized is spent
for other purposes.
If our industry received funding commensurate with the number of homes and
businesses it serves, its annual share would be $1 to $1.5 billion. With that amount,
we could address problems associated with public image and education, practitioner
training, remediation of systems, technology transfer, disposition/reuse of biosolids,

The onsite community must recognize the need to work together to enlarge
Ralph & Rosalie Macchio the pie for everyone. Success will not occur without a unifi ed effort. While there
are many possible ways to address the issue, the most direct route is to secure
additional funding from federal sources such as the SRF and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Rural Water Program. That funding would be used to:
1. Repair failing onsite systems.
2. Prevent future system malfunctions through proper maintenance and service.
3. Better educate the public and other stakeholders about the economic,
ecological, and societal benefi ts of onsite systems.

4. Empower and encourage states to develop the capacity to receive and
properly manage federal funding for onsite projects.
5. Develop professional standards to help eliminate substandard, shoddy,
dishonest, and fraudulent activities.
6. Encourage faster and more consistent transfer of new technologies from the
research stage to implementation in the field.

The majority of insurance
brokers don’t know your
business as well as we do.
With an estimated 26 million septic

systems serving U.S. residences, there’s
a considerable amount of work in the
pipeline for septic contractors. However,
until now, septic contractors haven’t had
an all-lines insurance solution that would
cover all of their business exposure from
design and installation to the rental of
portable toilets.
To address this need, Sanitation Insurance

Services specializes in offering a compre-
hensive insurance program specifically for
septic contractors and portable restroom
operators. While some policies provide
coverage for pumping or portable toilet
rental, our program addresses design,
installation, inspection, service and repair,
vandalism as well as pumping and
portable toilet rental.
You need an insurance program that

addresses the specific exposures you face,
such as errors and omissions (E&O) cover-
age for the various services you provide.
WE HAVE YOU COVERED.

SHOULDN’T ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAINERS
HELP PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT?
You can’t be too careful about how you handle environmentally sensitive materials – or what containers
you use to do the job. That’s why we’ve ingeniously designed our products for environmental use and
hydro tested them all against leakage. From oil and gas well maintenance to wastewater treatment
and a host of applications in between, our products serve every industry where cautious handling of
liquids, solids or sludges is essential. Plus, we can custom configure or design containers for your
application. Which means you’re not only assured of being good to the environment but also achieving
the best performance ever.
A few examples of our innovations:

• Easy-to-remove dewatering shells
• Fully gasketed doors
• Lid and tarping options
• Vented lids to prevent implosion
With 24 locations throughout North America, we can

deliver containers quickly and reduce freight costs.

Newly expanded indiana Top ten reasons Indianapolis

Convention Center
is the best place for the 2012
Pumper & Cleaner Expo
10. David Letterman is from Indianapolis,
so Top Ten lists are everywhere.
9. If they can handle 80,000 Super Bowl fans,
15,000 Pumper & Cleaners should be doable.
8. 4,700 hotel rooms connected to the convention
center - that's nearly 2,000 more than Opryland.
7. Over 200 restaurants, bars, and entertainment
options all within walking distance - close
walking distance.
6. Climate controlled skywalks mean never
having to wear a coat - or scarf, or mittens,
or stocking cap.
5. Send your significant other shopping -
the Convention Center is attached to a mall!
4. No matter what state you are from, there's only
one way to pronounce “Indianapolis”.
3. The last major crime spree in the city was by
Indianapolis native John Dillinger in 1931.
2. 35 cities fly non-stop to Indy's brand-new
airport - opened in November 2008.
1. Horses don't race there, cars do!
We have been in Business since 1970, and
we’re still building trucks.
