Whether you have an old-fashioned septic tank or an alternative system, your septic tanks need to be pumped on a regular basis. This prevents solid waste from escaping into the drain field and clogging soil pores, extends system life, and helps mitigate environmental hazards.

Grease trap cleaning is a quick, affordable, and important service. In addition to preventing costly blockages, septic tank pumping also helps your septic system work more efficiently. But if you’ve never had yours pumped, the idea of it might seem overwhelming or scary.

Avoid Costly Repairs with Routine Septic Tank Pumping

To start the process, your technician will locate your septic tank access lid. Often, this is under a deck or buried 6-12 inches underground. Once found, they will remove the lid and inspect it for cracks or other damage that may warrant replacement. They will also look at the baffles inside your tank to ensure they are in good condition and functioning properly.

Once the inspection is complete, they’ll hook up a large hose to a truck that has a septic tank on it. Once plugged in, the pump will begin to suck up liquid and solid waste from your tank. The process typically takes about 30-45 minutes to an hour.

You should have your septic tank pumped every three to five years depending on household size and use. You may need to have it pumped more often if your household has multiple bathrooms, you use a garbage disposal, or frequently dump harsh cleaning solutions down the drains. If you don’t keep up with your septic tank pumping, you could end up with waste backups in your home.
