Billing & Payments for Septic Companies

Septic Billing & Invoicing Software
Get Paid Before the Truck Leaves the Driveway

Pumping the tank is the easy part. Turning a carbon ticket into an invoice, adding the extra gallons and the disposal fee, and then waiting three weeks for a check is what drains a septic company. SepticBossPro builds invoices straight from completed jobs, keeps cards on file, sends estimates customers approve online, and follows up on anything unpaid — so the money comes in while the truck is still on the road.

Billing Built for Pump-Outs, Repairs,
and Commercial Routes — Not Retail.

Generic invoicing apps were made for businesses that sell the same thing at the same price. A septic job changes the moment the lid comes off. SepticBossPro is built around that reality: the job carries the property, the tank, and the work, and the invoice comes from the job.

🧾

Invoices From Completed Jobs

When the tech closes out the job on the crew app, the office invoices it from the same record — customer, property, and service already attached. No re-typing carbon tickets.

💳

Card on File & Auto-Billing

Store a card through Stripe and the invoice is charged automatically when the job is done. Perfect for rentals, lake cabins, and customers who are never home on pump day.

📋

Estimates With Online Approval

Broken baffle, missing riser, failing drain field — send an itemized estimate the customer approves online, with automatic follow-ups when it sits.

🚛

Disposal & Extra Gallons

Bill septage disposal, gallons over the base, digging, and risers as separate line items with sales tax, so customers see exactly what they paid for.

🏢

Commercial Monthly Billing

Invoice per visit, or roll a month of completed holding-tank and grease visits into one clean invoice for the customer's accounts payable department.

💬

Reminders & Collections

Automated payment reminders and follow-ups by text and email, with a link the customer can pay from. The office stops spending Fridays on the phone.

Every Completed Septic Job Becomes an Invoice the Same Day.

The tech closes out the pump-out on the crew mobile app with gallons and notes. The office sees it as complete, adds the extra-gallon and disposal lines, and sends it — or the card on file is charged automatically. The job and the money are one connected record instead of a ticket and a spreadsheet. For the full walkthrough, read Septic Billing Software: The Complete Guide for Pumping and Repair Companies.

  • Invoices built from completed jobs, per visit or rolled up monthly
  • Customer, property, and service pulled from the job automatically
  • Line items for pumping, extra gallons, disposal, digging, and repairs
  • Sales tax applied to the lines that need it
  • Card on file auto-billed, or an invoice the customer pays online
  • Automated payment reminders for anything left open
  • Every payment in one payments list, ready for QuickBooks export

Septic Billing Your Office Can Actually Run

Most billing software is built for accountants. SepticBossPro is built for the person answering the phone between emergency backups. Set up your price book, connect Stripe, and start invoicing completed jobs.

01

Build Your Price Book Once

Pumping up to your base gallons, additional gallons, septage disposal, digging, risers, filters, after-hours fees. Set each line item and its sales tax once, and every invoice and estimate uses the same prices.

02

Crews Just Close Out the Job

Drivers mark the job complete on the crew mobile app with gallons and notes. They never handle billing or carry a card reader — the close-out is what the office invoices from.

03

One Place for the Money

Invoices, estimates, payments, and reports live next to your schedule and dispatch board. No jumping between a ticket book, a spreadsheet, and a separate card terminal.

04

Follow-Ups Run Without You

Payment reminders and estimate follow-ups go out automatically by text and email. You stop being the person who has to call a neighbor about a past-due pump-out.

Generic Invoicing Doesn't Know What's in the Ground

A septic invoice is never just "one service, one price." The homeowner said it was a normal tank. The lid was two feet down. The load went to a disposal site that bills by the gallon. The outlet baffle was gone.

On paper, every one of those details has to survive the trip from the tank to the truck seat to the office. Some don't. The extra gallons never make it onto the bill, the dig charge gets forgotten, the disposal fee hasn't been updated since the treatment plant raised its rates, and the repair the tech spotted never turns into an estimate.

SepticBossPro keeps it all on one record. The property holds the tank size, lid depth, and drain field. The job holds what the crew actually did. The invoice is built from both, with every charge on its own line.

Billing is one part of the platform. To see how it connects with scheduling, the dispatch board, recurring jobs, and the crew app, take a look at the full SepticBossPro overview.

Invoicing & Payment Tools Designed Around Septic Work

Every billing tool in SepticBossPro connects to the customer, the property, and the job — so what the crew did is what the customer is billed for.

🧾

Invoices From Completed Jobs

Invoice a job as soon as the crew closes it out. Customer, property, and service are already attached, so nothing gets re-typed and nothing gets missed.

📆

Per Visit or Monthly

Bill homeowners per visit and roll commercial and multi-property accounts into one monthly invoice that lists every completed job.

📝

Line Items & Sales Tax

Pumping, extra gallons, disposal, digging, risers, filters, and repairs each on their own line, with sales tax applied where it belongs.

💳

Card on File via Stripe

Store a customer's card through Stripe and auto-bill invoices when jobs are completed. Ideal for absentee owners, rentals, and recurring maintenance.

🔗

Online Invoice Payments

Customers open the invoice and pay online from their phone. No envelope, no stamp, no reading a card number to the office.

💬

Payment Reminders

Automated payment reminders and follow-ups by text and email keep invoices from sliding into 60-day territory.

📋

Estimates With Online Approval

Send itemized repair and install estimates customers approve online. Approved work goes on the schedule and bills exactly as quoted.

⏰

Estimate Follow-Ups

Estimates that sit get followed up automatically, so the drain field quote doesn't die in someone's inbox.

💵

Payments List

Every payment matched to its invoice in one list, so anyone in the office can answer "did they pay?" in seconds.

📊

Reports

See what you invoiced, what you collected, and what is still outstanding, and spot problems before they reach collections.

📒

QuickBooks Export

Export invoices and payments to QuickBooks so your bookkeeper works from the same numbers your customers saw.

🏠

Tank & Property Records

Tank size, lid depth, and drain field details on every property, so quotes are accurate and invoices match what the customer was told.

📱

Crew Mobile App

Techs close out jobs at the tank with gallons and notes. The close-out is the billing document — no ticket book required.

🔁

Recurring Jobs

Schedule aerobic maintenance, routine pumping, and commercial routes once. Pair them with card on file and they bill themselves.

🗺️

Scheduling & Dispatch Board

See completed and in-progress work on the dispatch board so the office can invoice throughout the day, not in a Friday batch.

👥

Never Billed Per User

Every driver and office person can have a login. Plans are a flat monthly price, never billed per user.

Turn What the Tech Found Into Approved, Billed Work

A pump-out is often where the repair is discovered: a cracked baffle, a missing effluent filter, a lid that needs a riser, a drain field on its way out. SepticBossPro turns that finding into an itemized estimate the customer approves online, follows up when it sits, and invoices the work exactly as approved once the job is complete.

  • Itemized estimates from the same price book as your invoices
  • Customers approve online from their phone
  • Automatic follow-ups on estimates that haven't been approved
  • Approved work goes onto the schedule and dispatch board
  • Larger installs can be split into jobs and invoiced as each is completed
  • Approved estimate stays on file if questions come up later

  • Automated payment reminders and follow-ups

Septic Billing & Invoicing — Common Questions

Can SepticBossPro invoice straight from completed jobs?

Yes. When the crew closes out a job on the mobile app, the office invoices it from the same record, with the customer, property, and service already attached. You can invoice each visit or roll a month of completed jobs into one invoice.

How do I bill disposal fees and extra gallons?

As line items. Set up septage disposal, additional gallons, digging, risers, and anything else you charge in your price book, then add them to the invoice for the completed job. Sales tax can be applied to the lines that need it.

Can customers keep a card on file?

Yes. SepticBossPro uses Stripe for card on file and auto-billing, so an invoice can be charged automatically when the job is done. Customers without a card on file can pay their invoice online.

Does it handle repair and install estimates?

Yes. Send itemized estimates customers approve online, with automatic follow-ups on estimates that sit. Approved work goes on the schedule and is invoiced when the job is completed.

Can commercial accounts get one monthly invoice?

Yes. Completed visits can be rolled up into a single monthly invoice, which suits restaurants, holding-tank customers, property managers, and other accounts that do not want an invoice for every visit.

Does it work with QuickBooks?

SepticBossPro includes QuickBooks export, so your bookkeeper can bring in invoices and payments without re-typing them.

How much does SepticBossPro cost?

Plans are Start at $59/month, Pro at $89/month, and Crew at $199/month. You are never billed per user, and the 14-day free trial requires no credit card.

Billing is one piece — SepticBossPro also runs your scheduling, dispatch board, recurring jobs, crew app, and automated customer texts and emails from the same platform. See the full SepticBossPro overview.
