Your counter list
The items septic companies buy every week, from the van stock on our tools list. Ask each supplier for a price on these first; they decide which account saves you the most.
| Item | Why it is on the list |
|---|---|
| Effluent filters | Swaps |
| Risers and lids | Upgrades |
| Pipe and fittings | Repairs |
| Bacteria treatments | Add-on sales |
For the first order, price the starter kit too: vacuum pump truck; hoses and fittings; probe rod and a metal detector or locator; shovels and a lid lifter; muck rake; ppe: gloves, boots, eye protection; hand wash station and disinfectant. Bigger purchases to price at a dealer or rental house: sewer camera and locator; jetter; mini excavator; riser and lid stock.
Opening a trade account
Bring your business name, tax ID and license number, and a credit application if you want terms. The big-box programs are compared row by row on Home Depot Pro vs Lowe's Pro.
When supplier prices change
Update your septic price list the same week a supplier raises prices. In Koira, that price list is what your estimates are built from.
