If your property has a septic tank, you need to invest in regular septic tank pumping to ensure that it functions optimally. Depending on the capacity of the tank and the size of your household, this could need to be completed once per year or as rarely as every five years. However, it's never a good idea to wait too long between pumps, as serious issues can arise. Below are some advantages of regular septic pumping.

Why Schedule Regular Septic Tank Pumping & Maintenance?

1. Prevent Backups

The tank is designed to separate solids from liquid waste and release treated liquids into the ground. However, solids sink to the bottom and remain there until they are pumped out. If you wait too long to schedule septic tank pumping, you could encounter unpleasant septic backup. Everything could appear normal, at first. Then, on a day of heavy rain, a long period of watering your lawn, or doing several loads of laundry, you could suddenly find your drains and toilets backing up with sewage.

2. Maintain Your Tank

Regular septic tank pumping allows the technician to inspect your tank and evaluate the system. If all is not working smoothly, they will investigate, address the problem, and advise you on how to adjust your habits to ensure smoother operation. This keeps your tank in top condition, prevents emergencies, and extends the life of your system.

3. Enjoy Fast Drains

As your tank fills, wastewater has less room to enter and must, therefore, slow down. This often results in slow drains, usually in the shower or bathtub. You may notice sinks and tubs partially filling while the water runs, leaving rings of grime and making cleanup more difficult. For faster drains and less mess, don't delay having your tank pumped.
