Many homeowners forget about their septic tank until something goes wrong. Regular pumping is one of the easiest and most important steps to avoid unexpected breakdowns and expensive repairs.
Prevents Overflow and Damage
A full tank can’t hold new waste, causing sewage to push back into your home or leak into your yard.
Extends the Life of Your System
Pumping removes sludge and solids that can clog pipes, damage your drain field, or lead to complete system failure.
Improves Efficiency and Reduces Odors
A clean tank allows wastewater to flow properly, reducing unpleasant smells inside and outside your home.
How Often Should You Pump?
Most homes need pumping every 2–4 years, depending on tank size and water usage.
Tip: Keep a maintenance record so you never miss a scheduled pumping.
