In most cases, the average homeowner will need to have their septic tank pumped every five years. However, this number can vary depending on the size of the septic system, how many people live in the home, and what types of soaps and detergents are used.

Before the septic tank pumping process starts, a professional will inspect the septic system to locate the access points and determine the level of sludge and scum buildup in the septic tank. They will also check the drainfield for signs of septic system problems, such as slow-draining sinks and tubs.

Once the tank is accessed, the septic tank pumping crew will insert a vacuum hose into the access point and begin sucking out solid waste and liquid. This septic tank pumping step is crucial to keeping your septic system working properly and preventing overflow and sewage backups in your home.

The next part of the septic tank pumping process involves grease trap cleaning and flushing the septic tank. This helps remove any remaining sludge from the tank and ensures that the drain field will not be damaged by septic tank contents.

After the septic tank is pumped, the technician will inspect it again to look for any cracks or other issues that may cause future problems. They will also recommend any other maintenance, such as septic tank repairs or drainfield restoration, that might be necessary. To extend the lifespan of your septic tank, you should follow the maintenance schedule recommended by your septic tank company and keep your family, pets, and landscaping away from the septic tank and drainfield area.
