Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Should a Septic Tank Be Cleaned?

Most septic system experts recommend having your septic tank pumped and cleaned every three to five years. This general timeframe can vary based on several factors, including the size of your tank and the number of people living in your household. If you have a small tank or a high volume of wastewater, you may need more frequent pumping, perhaps every two years. Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of solids, which helps ensure the health and longevity of your drain field. Consistent maintenance on this schedule is the best way to avoid costly system failures.

What Are the Signs My Septic Tank Needs Pumping?

Several clear signs indicate your septic tank is overdue for pumping and cleaning. The most obvious indicator is slow drains throughout your home or water backing up into sinks and toilets. You may notice an unusual, strong, foul odor emanating from the tank area or your drains, signaling a high level of sludge. Patches of unusually lush, green grass over the drain field can also suggest effluent is seeping out prematurely. Finally, if you see standing water or sewage pooling in your yard near the tank, immediate service is required.

How Long Does the Cleaning Process Take?

A standard septic tank cleaning and pumping service is usually a relatively quick process. Once the tank is located and uncovered, the actual pumping typically takes between 30 minutes to one hour. The total service time, including setting up the hoses, pumping all the sludge and effluent, and performing a basic inspection, is generally completed within one to two hours. The duration can be slightly longer if the tank is difficult to locate or if the lid needs to be dug up first. Our technicians work efficiently to ensure minimal disruption to your day.

Is It Illegal to Pump a Septic Tank Myself?

While regulations vary by location, it is generally not recommended and often heavily regulated or illegal for a homeowner to pump their own septic tank. Septic pumping requires specialized equipment to remove the waste, which is classified as hazardous sewage. The most significant issue is the proper disposal of the waste, as sewage must be transported and disposed of at an approved facility, which only licensed professionals can access. Attempting a DIY pump could lead to heavy fines, environmental contamination, and serious safety risks from toxic gases.

What Should Not Be Put Down the Drain?

To maintain a healthy septic system, you should avoid flushing or draining anything that is not human waste and toilet paper. Never flush non-biodegradable items such as wet wipes, paper towels, feminine hygiene products, or dental floss. You should also strictly limit the amount of grease, fats, and cooking oil poured down the kitchen drain, as these substances solidify and block the system. Harsh chemicals like excessive bleach, drain cleaners, and paint thinners can kill the beneficial bacteria needed for the septic system to function properly.
