["No match"](https://licensedseptic.com/septic-license-lookup/#no-match) does not mean unlicensed. Names and phone numbers on a state list often differ from the ones in ads. Ask for the license number. **Before you call.** Ask for the total price and which fees can be added: digging up or opening the lid, extra sludge, a trip charge. Ask if they pump every compartment through the main lid and check the baffles. Ask for the license or permit number, then compare it to the one on this page. If the pumper says you need a repair, get three written quotes before you agree. ## In Forest City ### [Swanson Customs](https://licensedseptic.com/septic-pumping/iowa/forest-city/swanson-customs/) Forest City, IA ✓ Iowa license 541 [Call (641) 860-0680](tel:+16418600680) ## Within 30 miles of Forest City ### [Nelson Septic Services](https://licensedseptic.com/septic-pumping/iowa/garner/nelson-septic-services/) 2435 Union Ave, Garner, IA 50438 · 10.1 mi away ✓ Iowa license 343 [Call (641) 923-2145](tel:+16419232145) [Website](https://www.greencanopyportabletoilets.net/) ### Helps Drain & Septic Service 107 S 3rd St, Clear Lake, IA 50428 · 15.4 mi away No match on the Iowa list [Call (641) 423-0101](tel:+16414230101) [Website](http://helpsdrain.com/) ### Precision Septic Services 65497 170th St, Alden, MN 56009 · 24 mi away [Call (507) 473-0019](tel:+15074730019) ### North Iowa Septic Solutions 3609 S Federal Ave, Mason City, IA 50401 · 24 mi away No match on the Iowa list [Call (641) 423-1615](tel:+16414231615) Order: companies matched to a state list first, then listings with more complete data (phone, website, street address), then by name.
