Septic Pumping
Your septic system requires a regular pumping. A basic formula for pumping is:
- 5 or more people in the home pump every year
- 3-4 people every 2 years
- 2 people every 3 years
- 1 person every 4 years
Usage can affect this formula. If you have a system that has had problems in the past, it might need to be pumped more often.
Reason for Pumping
Inorganic or inert solid materials and the byproducts of bacterial digestion sink to the bottom of the tank to form sludge. Organic solid material and paper products float to the top to form scum. These materials can plug the tank and overflow into the leaching system. The sludge needs to be pumped out on a regular schedule in order to maintain a healthy leaching system.
We thoroughly clean each septic tank which includes pumping the tank completely and backwashing. This ensures the solids at the bottom of the tank are completely removed. We operate large capacity pump trucks with high capacity vacuum equipment.
