Experts recommend septic tanks be pumped every 3 to 4 years. The timeframe between pumping may need to be adjusted depending on usage or heavy rainfall. Torrential rain poses a potential threat to your system's drainfield. The rain can collect inside the component causing over-saturation. The water doesn’t have any place else to go, and it can potentially overflow your septic tank.
Reasons to Have Your System Pumped Regularly:
- Extends the life of your septic system. A well-maintained septic tank can last up to 30 years.
- The longer you wait, the thicker the sludge becomes and the harder it is to pump.
- Doing so could save you money, time, and hassle
- Prevent system overflow
- Prevent run-off into nearby water bodies like creeks and rivers
Signs That Your Septic is Full:
- Tubs, toilets, sinks, etc, may seem to drain slowly
- Foul odors emanate due to gas
- Higher than normal nitrate level for your well water
- Standing water in your yard
- Sewage back-up in your house
