septic tank pumping
To help ensure the proper maintenance and long term functioning of the entire septic system, the septic tank should be pumped out every three to five years, given normal household water usage.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Our team will arrive at your home and begin locating your septic tank. After your tank is located, the septic tank will be dug up. Once the septic tank is dug up, we will begin pumping your septic tank. Pumping the septic tank usually takes about an hour. After we are finished pumping the septic tank, we will cover the tank back up.
There are many factors that can directly affect how often you need to have your septic tank pumped. In fact, even if you usually only need to have your septic tank pumped every 3-5 years in most cases, there may be times when you need it done more often.
The number of people living in your house is one of the biggest factors that will determine how often you need to have your septic tank pumped. If the occupancy of your home increases significantly, you’ll want to increase the frequency of your pumping service as well. Remember that the more people you have in your home, even if they’re just daily visitors, the more wastewater will be going into your septic system.
You’ll also need to consider the age of your septic system, the size of the tank, and your seasonal usage changes.
Why is it a good idea to install risers to your septic tank?
1. Accessibility - Risers provide easier access to the septic tank for inspection, maintenance, and pumping, reducing the need for digging up the yard.
2. Cost-Effectiveness - With risers in place, routine maintenance tasks like inspections and pump-outs become less labor-intensive, potentially saving on service costs over time.
3. Longevity - Easier access encourages regular maintenance, which can prolong the lifespan of the septic system by preventing issues like clogs, backups, and premature failure.
