Why Septic Tank Pumping Is Necessary
A septic service needs to be pumped regularly, and the frequency can vary based on how much wastewater is produced by your household on a daily basis. In general, it’s recommended that you have your septic tank pumped every three to five years. However, the more people in your home, and how much water you use on a regular basis, the more frequently you’ll need to have your septic tank pumped.
A full septic tank can lead to clogged drains and backups, which not only cause messy and unsanitary conditions in your home but also cost money and time to repair. Regular septic tank pumping prevents the buildup of solid waste and minimizes the risk of overflow into the septic system’s drain field, which can damage pipes and components.

When wastewater leaves your home, it travels to the septic tank, where it separates into three layers. The top layer, known as scum, consists of oils and fats. The middle layer is wastewater, and the bottom layer, called sludge, is solid waste. The septic tank’s float switch keeps the liquids at a safe level, while the bottom layer of sludge accumulates over time.
If the septic tank’s float switch is not working properly, it can cause the liquids to overflow into the septic system’s absorption field. This is an extremely dangerous situation that can result in sewage spilling onto the ground surface or into your home, which not only causes costly sanitary and plumbing problems but also poses health risks for your family. A professional septic tank service can remove the sludge and scum from your septic tank, and dispose of it in an environmentally responsible manner.
