What Is Septic Pumping?
All septic systems have a septic tank from which waste-water from your toilet, shower, sinks, washing machines, and other appliances leave your house and drain into it. Septic tank pumping is the process of using a high-pressure water nozzle and pump to remove sludge, liquid, and floating solids from the septic tank. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warns against using chemicals to break down the sludge yourself because this can throw off the ecosystem in your septic tank and lawn. You should have your septic tank pumped at least every one to three years – depending on how many people are using your septic tank.

Why Should You Have Your Septic Pumped Regularly?
- Septic tank pumping extends the life of your septic system. A well-maintained septic tank can last up to 30 years.
- The longer you wait to have your tank pumped, the thicker the sludge becomes and the harder it is for septic tank pumping.
- Regular pumping can save you money, time, and hassle, prevent system overflow, and prevent run-off into nearby water bodies like creeks and rivers.
