When Should I Get My Septic Pumped?

When it comes to your septic tank and its proper care, getting the tank pumped out is one of the most important tasks that you can do. Generally speaking, septic tanks should be pumped out every two years. However, if you start to experience any signs of a slow drain or backups in the sewage system, then it is likely time to get your tank pumped right away. 

Additionally, if you recently purchased a home with an existing septic tank, it can be wise to get the tank pumped immediately just to ensure that everything is running smoothly before you start living there. Routine pumping of your septic tank will help keep your family safe and healthy by protecting them from potential pollutants found in sewage systems.

What Are the Benefits of Septic Pumping?

Septic pumping is a highly important, yet often forgotten part of maintaining a healthy septic system. Regular septic pumping ensures that the bacteria in the tank are kept at the optimum level to break down waste, while preventative maintenance helps keep costly repairs and replacements at bay. Septic tank pumping also prevents raw sewage and other contaminants from potentially backing up into your home due to improperly treated or untreated waste buildup in the tank.

In many cases, pouring chemicals into the tank can be counterproductive, as these chemicals may weaken the effectiveness of existing bacteria. Investing in periodic septic pumping from an experienced professional is crucial for keeping your septic system running properly and efficiently for years to come.
