How often should I pump a septic tank?
A common residential rule of thumb is about every 3 years, but the right schedule depends on household size, wastewater volume, solid-waste volume, garbage disposal use, and tank size.
FAQ
Straight answers before you call.
Clear guidance about services, scheduling, pricing, and what to expect.
What signs mean my septic tank may need pumping?
Slow drains, sewage odors, gurgling plumbing, wet spots near the drain field, backups, or a tank that has not been pumped in years are all reasons to call.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
Many commercial kitchens need cleaning every 1-3 months. The 1/4 rule says to clean once grease and solids reach about a quarter of the trap capacity.
What happens during septic pumping?
A technician inspects and measures the sludge level, pumps the tank clean, re-inspects, seals the tank, and explains anything important they found.
