Septic pumping

Regular pumping prevents costly repairs and system failures. The process restores the tank's capacity and reduces the risk of overflow into the drain field and potential damage to pipes and components. This proactive maintenance avoids expensive emergency repairs and prolongs the life of the entire septic system.

Household septic tanks are typically pumped every three to five years. Alternative systems with electrical float switches, pumps, or mechanical components should be inspected more often, generally once a year. A service contract is important since alternative systems have mechanized parts.
