How often should a septic tank be pumped?
Your septic tank needs to be pumped out every 3-5 years. The timing depends on how many people are in your household and the age and size of the septic tank. You may be closer to the 3 years if you have more than the average amount of individuals in a household. If you wait too long to have your tank pumped, your toilets may start clogging or your basement could flood with the backup. Call us to help you solve your issues before they become costly disasters.
What is the septic system?
Your septic system is a complex network of pipes that come together in your home’s drain field. Everything that goes down the drain goes to the septic tank. The solids sink to the bottom of the tank while the wastewater flows to the leach field.
Where is the septic tank located?
Your septic tank is located between 10-25 feet of the house. They are usually among the lawn and the lawn will need to be dug up in order to access the tank.
Can I use drain cleaner if my drains are slow or clogged?
Avoid putting chemicals down your drains as that could destroy pipes and harm the bacteria that helps break down solids in the septic tank.
