If your home or business is in a rural area, you may need to install a septic tank to process waste and water that comes through all drains and toilets. Septic systems are self-contained and can process and store water and waste produced by your family or employees. Instead of relying on the main sewer line to transport waste to a sewage processing plant, a septic system uses chemicals and natural types of bacteria to break down waste and then release the clean water back into the ground below. This method is effective and reliable as long as you keep the system well-maintained and avoid flushing large items down your drains or toilets that could cause clogs.
How often you need a septic tank pumping service depends on the type of system you have. Traditional septic systems should have the tank(s) pumped every 3 years. If you have an ATU system then you should be having maintenance visits every 6-8 months and pumping can vary as needed. ATU systems require a maintenance agreement on file with the permitting county to operate.
It also will depend on if your system is residential or commercial as commercial systems typically need to be serviced more often.
Maintaining your septic tank is paramount to the longevity and efficiency of the system. Not pumping your tank(s) will shorten the life of your drainfield and negatively impact the environment. Remember, the wastewater fills the tank right away and is constantly dispersed in the drainfield while the solids (poop) sink to the bottom and accumulate. Your goal in pumping the tank every 3 years is to ensure the poop hasn't accumulated so much that it is being sent out to the drainfield.
You can expect a few things when you hire Brandon Septic for your septic pumping. First, a professional technician will arrive at your home and locate your tank. We will ensure all sludge is removed, the filter is cleaned, and the tank is resealed upon completion.
If we find issues with your tank or drainfield we will let you know and you can decide if you would like to have our estimator sent out for a free cost evaluation.
