Do you remember the last time your septic tank was pumped? It is one of the most important things you can do to ensure that your septic system functions properly, and in turn, your entire plumbing system.
A septic tank that is neglected could lead to your sewage backing up into your home, and we don’t need to tell you how devastating that would be.
Solid waste that goes into the septic tank is broken down by bacteria, but some will be left behind. Once the tank is full, solid waste could overflow into the drainfield, causing damage.
There are many reliable services that will pump your septic tank, and it is worth it to keep track of when you have it done so you can keep doing so regularly.
The frequency with which you need to have your tank pumped will depend on many factors, such as the size of your tank, how many people there are in your household, and even the diet you keep, but every 5 years or so is a good estimate.
