What every septic invoice needs

  • Your business name, address, phone and license number
  • Invoice number, date and due date
  • Customer name, billing address and service address
  • A line for every service, part and fee, with quantity and rate
  • Tax, total, payments received and balance due
  • Payment terms and how to pay

Pricing septic work

  • Price pumping by tank size bands or per gallon, with disposal fees shown as a separate line so price changes at the disposal site are easy to pass through.
  • Add clear charges for digging to locate and expose lids, extra hose length, and difficult access, and explain that risers remove the digging charge on future visits.
  • Price inspections by type and scope. A transfer inspection that follows a local form takes more time than a visual check during pumping.
  • Build truck cost into your rate: fuel, maintenance, insurance and payment on the truck, divided by working days, plus crew wages, overhead and margin.
