Fighting cancer?

Leave your home septic pumping to us.

A cancer diagnosis makes life complicated. Along with the huge physical and emotional toll of treatment, people fighting cancer find themselves fighting other things too:

Insurance paperwork. Appointment scheduling. Medication management. Septic damage.

Yes, that’s right. Chemotherapy drugs can damage or even destroy a home’s septic system — adding yet one more thing to worry about. (Two, actually: thousands of dollars in repairs and a flood of backed-up sewage!)

That’s why Pumps for Patients is here.

You have enough on your plate — so let us help.

We facilitate free septic maintenance services to families fighting cancer. You’ll get regular service from a licensed and insured professional, at no cost to you.

How It Works in 3 Steps

1. Check eligibility requirements

While we’d love to help absolutely everyone, our limited resources require us to be selective.

At this time, qualifying applicants must:

Be a U.S. resident
Be receiving or scheduled to receive chemotherapy treatment
Own a home with a septic system
Be willing to share tax returns and bank statements to assess financial need

2. Apply for free septic service

If you meet the eligibility requirements, we invite you to submit an application.

You can download a PDF application form here, or you can submit the online form below and we’ll reach out.

3. Get connected to a septic pumper

Our team will review your application within 3 weeks of receiving it. If your application is approved, we’ll coordinate your free septic pumping service and will introduce you to the licensed and insured professional who will be taking care of you.

What Families Say About Our Work

Our daughter is currently undergoing chemotherapy, and we were concerned about the potential chemical damage to our septic system from her treatments. The team at Pumps for Patients was not only professional and efficient but also compassionate and understanding of our situation.

Their generosity lifted a huge burden from our shoulders and reminded us that there are still people out there who care deeply about supporting families in need.
