Most homes need their septic tank pumped every 3 to 5 years. How often depends on the size of your tank and how many people live in the house. A bigger family, a smaller tank, or a garbage disposal means it fills up faster and needs pumping more often.

If you’re not sure when your tank was last pumped, give us a call and we’ll help you figure out a schedule that makes sense for your home.

Watch for slow drains, gurgling pipes, sewage smells in the yard or house, or wet, extra-green grass over the drain field. If you see sewage backing up into the house, call us right away. We’re available 24/7.

Stick to toilet paper. Wipes (even ones labeled flushable), paper towels, feminine products, grease, cooking oil, and harsh chemicals can clog your system or cause damage. Taking care of what goes down the drain helps your system last longer between pumpings.
