Septic Tank Cleaning

Our experienced team also specializes in septic tank cleaning services. Pumping and cleaning may seem like essentially the same type of maintenance services, but in actuality, each one serves a slightly different purpose. Septic pumping is the quicker and more routine option, intended primarily to address the top layers of liquid waste and floating debris to prevent system overflows which could create odor issues or drainage problems. Septic tank cleaning on the other hand is a much more thorough procedure. It removes all the sludge and solid waste that settle at the bottom of the tank and cannot be reached by pumping alone. A detailed cleaning ensures that the tank is completely emptied and freed from any materials that could harden, turn into blockages, and disrupt functionality. This is key to extending the life of the system and preventing the need for costly and inconvenient repair work. Both septic tank pumping and cleaning are valuable treatments for keeping your septic system healthy.

How Often Should You Pump Your Septic Tank?

Septic pumping is a regular maintenance task that comes with septic systems. The storage tanks of every septic system have a limited storage capacity. The tank holds solid and liquid waste. The solid waste settles at the bottom of the tank, slowly building up sludge that diminishes the ability of the septic tank to hold new waste. Pumping your septic tank regularly is meant to remove the solid waste that has built up at the bottom of the tank and allow it to continue to perform optimally. The main question that we get is, “How often should I pump my septic tank?” The answer is every three to five years. This is for most residential septic systems. It will vary based on household size, usage, and size of the tank.
