Why do septic tanks need pumping?

One of the most essential tasks while taking care of your home or building is the periodic emptying of the septic tank. Pumping your septic tank should be a top priority since the consequences of an un-pumped septic tank can be disastrous to the health and well-being of inmates and also of the neighborhood.

How often the septic tank needs cleaning?

Regular maintenance of your septic tank is a critical and fundamental task to ensure the smooth functioning of your toilet drains. Many homeowners are ignorant of the frequency of emptying their septic tanks. We recommend the septic tanks be pumped every one to two years. Based on the size of the tank, the number of occupants in the property and frequency of use, the frequency needs to be adjusted.

Why do you need a professional for the job?

Emptying a septic tank is a big operation and should only be done by professionals. The process involves inspection of your tank, use of vacuum and suction pumps and lastly an evaluation on how frequently it should be pumped in the future. This assessment is highly beneficial and guarantees that you have all of the data to properly maintain your septic tanks.

Factors affecting septic tank pumping frequency

When it comes to septic tank pumping frequency, there are several aspects to consider. Generally, septic tanks are emptied every two years. This further depends on the number of residents in the house, the size of the property, and the frequency of flushes. Another factor that determines septic tank pumping frequency, the age and size of your septic tank, and seasonal fluctuations.

Importance of Regular Septic Tank Inspections

Along with regular emptying of the septic tank, we also recommend you to assess the tank infrastructure and general functioning health of the system. Failure in carrying out regular cleaning and pumping of septic tanks often results in overflow, backup,flooding, bad odors, health problems, and contamination of surrounding water bodies.

Although three years is considered to be the ideal time frame for an inspection, it is preferable to do it more frequently to ensure the proper functioning of the tanks. It also helps in proactively detecting blockages and other damages in the tank, saving you a lot of time, effort and money in delayed repairs.

Having proper documentation on the age, capacity, and size of your septic tank, a record of the dates of tank inspections and emptying is also a good practice. This makes it easy to prepare, plan and schedule septic tanks inspections and emptying.
