If you have slow drainage throughout your home or notice any strong sewage smells inside or outside your property, you may need to schedule septic tank pumping. Other signs that you have an issue include gurgling sounds in your plumbing, standing water near the drain field, and frequent issues with your toilets or drains.

How Often Septic Tanks Should Be Pumped
On average, septic tanks should be pumped every three to five years, but it all depends on total household usage. A large family of five or six will generally produce more wastewater than a household of just two or three, and may need to schedule pumping every year or two.
Our technicians can assess your system and average usage, and let you know how often you should schedule pumping. We also recommend frequent preventative maintenance to avoid future emergencies and greatly extend your system’s lifespan.
Protecting Your Septic System
In addition to scheduling regular maintenance, there are a few things you can do to prevent septic tank issues:
- Avoid flushing any non-biodegradable items, such as wipes
- Don’t dispose of grease into the drains
- Conserve water to reduce system strain
- Call for an expert as soon as you notice an issue
