If you have a septic tank on your property, you may not be sure how much maintenance is truly needed to keep it in good working order. You certainly don’t want your system to back up or experience other problems. The experts at Wright’s Septic Service in Tomah, WI offer professional septic tank cleaning and pumping.

Wright’s Septic Service provides the following guidelines for effective, timely septic cleaning:

• Know Your Home: When it comes to septic cleaning, each home is unique. How often you need to clean your septic system will depend on the size of your tank, as well as the size of your home and how many people are living there. Adding more children to your family will make a difference in how often you need to clean it. It is best to consult with a septic expert to determine how regularly your system will require maintenance.
• Know Your History: Another way to help determine how often you need a septic cleaning is to examine your records of previous septic tank pumpings. Each time your septic tank is pumped, you should receive a receipt indicating how much material was removed from your tank and how full it was. You can use this information to estimate your tank’s current levels and adjust your pumping schedule so you don’t clean too soon or too late.
• Pump Regularly: Regardless of the specific needs of your home, you should conduct septic tank pumping on a regular basis. In general, it is recommended that you have your septic tank pumped at least every three years if you have a residential system. Failure to pump your septic system on a regular basis will cause sludge and scum buildup and eventually wreak havoc on your home.
