Specializing in septic pumping - it can become frustrating to see online advice from fellow homeowners advising that septic tanks don't need to be pumped or decades could go by before you need to worry about pumping. THAT IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE.

Every household is different - based on home use and what goes down the drain.

The general rule of thumb is 5 years max for a family of 2-3 people. For every person more, subtract a year.

Rentals and Airbnbs - Pump every 1-2 years

Here are 4 septic tanks from today's schedule as an example.

TANK 1 - Last pumped 2022 -BACKED UP INSIDE
TANK 2 - Brand New 2023 - REPORTING SLOW DRAINS
TANK 3 - Last pumped 2023 - BACKED UP
TANK 4 - the best of the worst OVER 20 Years ago! - NO ISSUES JUST THOUGHT IT WAS TIME

Maintenance of the septic tank is like an oil change in the car - don't wait until the motor blows to service it!

💩Maintenance Pumping

This septic tank was perfect timing for routine pumping.

Levels were normal, but the toilet paper was building up. Much longer, a line blockage could've occurred.

We pumped, washed down the tank and left it sparkling clean.

Job well done team!

This is not an ideal place for a septic tank.

In fact, now that it has failed, it has to be relocated to a green area requiring lots of yard modifications and a complete plumbing reroute.
