If you have a septic system on your property, one of the first things you need to know is that septic tank pumping is a necessary maintenance task that cannot be ignored. Here are a few things you should know about septic tank pumping.
- What is it? Your septic tank collects the solid and liquid waste from your property, filters out the solid waste, and pushes the liquid waste through to the drainfield to be further filtered and treated to return to the groundwater. The solid waste that is leftover in the septic tank builds up over time and needs to be physically removed through septic tank pumping.
- Why is it important? Regular septic tank pumping is necessary to prevent any buildup and blockages from solid waste inside your septic tank and system. Clogs can also lead to septic backups or septic system failure that you will want to avoid as well.
- How often do you need it? How often you need septic tank pumping services will depend on your use of your septic system and its condition. It’s typically recommended to have your septic tank pumped every 3-5 years to prevent any buildup or issues.
