SEPTIC PUMPING
What Is Septic Tank Pumping And Why You Should Choose Septic Masters
What Is Septic Pumping?
All septic systems include a septic tank, which is the central point where wastewater from your toilet, shower, sinks, washing machines, and other appliances is collected. Septic tank pumping is essential, as it involves using a high-pressure water nozzle and pump to clear out sludge, liquid, and floating solids from your septic tank. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) advises against attempting to chemically break down the sludge yourself, as this can disrupt the natural ecosystem within your septic tank and adversely affect your lawn. It’s recommended that your septic tank undergo at least every one to three years, depending on the usage rate. Septic Masters provides complimentary estimates for all services, including septic tank pumping for homes and businesses. Contact us today to ensure your system is handled promptly and professionally.
Why Should You Have Your Septic Pumped Regularly?
Septic tank pumping is essential for maintaining the longevity and efficiency of your septic system. Regular septic pumping not only extends the lifespan of your septic tank— which can last up to 30 years with proper maintenance— but also saves you money, time, and hassle.
The longer you delay septic tank pumping, the thicker the sludge in your tank becomes. This makes it harder for the system to function properly, increasing the risk of overflow and potential environmental hazards. To avoid these issues, it’s crucial to avail routine septic pumping services and keep your system running efficiently.
Regular septic tank pumping helps prevent system overflow and reduces the risk of contaminating nearby water bodies like creeks and rivers, protecting both your property and the local ecosystem.
Don’t wait until it’s too late. Ensure your septic system is functioning smoothly by scheduling regular septic tank pumping and prevent any issues before they become costly problems.

SAND MOUND
Sand mound systems are an option in areas of shallow soil depth, high groundwater, or shallow bedrock. The constructed sand mound contains a drain field trench. Effluent (wastewater) from the septic tank flows to a pump chamber where it is pumped to the mound in set doses.
