Frequently Asked Questions About Septic Tank Pumping in West Richland, Washington

Below, we’ve answered some of our more commonly asked questions about septic tank pumping and septic tank cleaning for your convenience. If you have questions, concerns, or queries about our commercial or residential plumbing services, reach out to our trusted team today.

  • The costs associated with pumping your septic tank depend on where you live and who you choose to carry out the task. Your septic tank’s size determines the costs you face to pump your septic tank, with larger tanks holding more waste and typically costing more to pump. You may pay less to pump a septic tank that’s pumped regularly compared to one that isn’t because there’s less waste to remove and a potentially reduced risk of tank overflow. A range of factors contribute to septic tank pumping costs, like the distance between your property and the disposal site, where your tank is located, its condition, and whether you need other services like septic tank inspection.

  • Everyone’s situation, property type, and septic tank are different, which means there is no set timeframe for how often you should pump your septic tank. Various factors contribute to your recommended septic tank pumping frequency, like the size of your family, the size of your tank, whether you use a garbage disposal, and even the climate. Book septic tank pumping services every three to five years to avoid problems like sewage backups and health hazards. Septic tank pumping professionals in your area can advise you on the best septic tank pumping frequency for your unique property, septic system, and needs.

  • It can be obvious that a septic tank is full and needs to be pumped by a trusted professional when the drains inside your home start to back up. A non-flushing toilet can be a sign of a full septic tank that you need to empty because wastewater can’t make its way through the drainpipes. Booking septic tank pumping services is necessary when you notice unpleasant odors, water pooling around your property, and strange sounds coming from your drains. Green, thriving grass in random spots on your lawn could be a sign that your septic tank has an issue or is full and needs to be pumped.

  • With so many businesses offering septic tank pumping services, it can be worth researching and reviewing various options so you can confidently make your decision. Perform an online search using local business directories and search engines to discover who pumps septic tanks near you. Recommendations from friends, families, neighbors, and coworkers are a common way to find a highly regarded septic tank pumping business near you. Sometimes, local businesses like hardware and improvement stores that regularly work with service businesses are more than happy to recommend companies to individuals, so approach them for recommendations.

  • If your septic tank needs to be pumped, any time is a good time to call in a licensed and insured service professional. If you live somewhere with particularly cold winters, septic tank pumping is a much harder task if your tank is hard to access and the ground is frozen or snow-covered. Many septic tank pumping companies are busy emptying their customers’ septic tanks in spring and summer, which is a desirable time of year for septic tank pumping. Mud can present challenges for septic tank companies trying to access septic tanks, so book your service when there isn’t extreme weather that could cause access issues.

  • Saving money can be a great reason to try DIY septic tank pumping, but the need for specialized equipment and experience mean that it’s not recommended. Leaving septic tank pumping to the professionals is worthwhile since they use vacuum trucks with pumps and hoses and understand the importance of wearing safety equipment to avoid pathogens and bacteria. Most homeowners don’t have industry knowledge of septic tank pumping, waste management, and septic systems in the same way that a septic tank pumping service provider does, so it makes sense to leave this job to the pros. There can be legal and regulatory issues associated with trying to pump your septic tank yourself, which can be avoided if you use professional service providers.

  • If you own a conventional septic system with a septic tank and drain field, you will need to hire septic tank pumping service providers to pump it at least every three to five years. Homeowners and business owners with aerobic treatment systems featuring aeration chambers typically need to pump their systems every one to three years, depending on the design of their system and how frequently it’s used. Less common septic systems, like drip irrigation, chamber systems, sand mound systems, and constructed wetlands can require regular pumping like conventional septic systems. Every septic system is different, so don’t be afraid to contact a septic tank pumping business for advice about septic tank pumping scheduling that’s unique to your property.

  • Many rural properties in the US, comprising about 25% of total households, use septic systems (decentralized wastewater treatment systems) to manage sewage directly on their land. In general, septic systems receive wastewater from homes or buildings, separate and store solids, treat the wastewater to remove pollutants, and discharge the treated effluent into the environment. Septic systems are linked to homes and businesses through main drainage pipes, receiving blackwater and greywater from toilets, washing machines, showers, and other household fixtures. Septic systems remove impurities from wastewater, including nutrients, viruses, bacteria, and parasites, before the treated wastewater becomes groundwater and drains into lakes, rivers, and streams.

  • When you don’t empty your septic tank on a regular schedule, you can encounter issues like drain field damage, drain clogs, and overflowing toilets. An overfilled septic tank is more than just an inconvenience; it can have environmental consequences like soil and groundwater contamination when it leaks out of your septic system. If you don’t empty your septic tank regularly, you may experience tank damage or system malfunction, which can require a trained service professional to repair. Awful odors, repair costs, and poor system functioning can all be associated with simply not booking septic tank pumping services regularly enough.

  • If you need to find the lid to your septic tank, look for a circle lid measuring around two feet that features concrete or a black or green plastic material. Inspect your property diagram to see if your septic tank lid has been marked on it to make the discovery process easier. You may quickly find your septic tank’s lid if you were to insert a stick or probe into the ground every two or three feet until you come across something hard. After having no luck finding your own septic tank lid, reach out to local trusted septic tank pumping experts who can use specialized locating equipment to find both your septic tank and the lid.
