Septic tanks are a common part of waste disposal in many homes. Septic systems remove solids from wastewater, and those solids settle at the bottom of the septic tank to form a sludge or float to the surface as scum. Over time, this sludge pushes the wastewater out because there is less and less room inside the septic tank. When this occurs, these solids are less effectively removed and they end up being absorbed into the soil, causing septic failure. This can also cause wastewater to back up inside your home, allowing hazardous waste to potentially come to the surface.

Any homeowner who has ever experienced septic tank failure knows the importance of prevention. Basic septic tank inspection and pumping can save you an unwanted septic backup and costly repairs.

It’s easy to get into a routine of having your septic tank pumped on a regular basis. Maintenance every two years is typically the recommended timeframe, but the exact frequency is based on a number of variables, including the volume of water held in the septic tank, the volume of solids in the water, and the tank’s capacity. The size of your household and whether your kitchen utilizes a garbage disposal will affect these factors as well.
