Septic systems can seem complicated and mysterious to most homeowners. But they don’t have to be. By focusing on regular maintenance and knowing how to avoid costly problems, you can keep your home’s septic system running smoothly.

Sludge and liquid wastes flow into septic tanks, where the solids sink to the bottom and the lighter wastes float to the top. The liquid waste then exits into the leach field to be filtered by the soil. As time passes, the solids accumulate, reducing the amount of space for new wastewater to enter, which can lead to clogs and costly repairs. Regular septic tank pumping removes the accumulated solids, preventing them from reaching critical levels and minimizing the risk of leaks and contamination.

The cost of septic tank pumping varies depending on the size of your septic tank and how often you get it pumped. A larger tank will usually cost more to empty because it takes more time and effort than a smaller one. Additionally, septic tanks located in hard-to-reach areas or on uneven ground are more expensive to access and will require extra time and equipment to pump.

When you schedule your septic tank pumping, the professional will arrive with a large truck equipped with a giant tank and a suction hose that literally “sucks” out your septic waste. Once the job is done, he will check the inlet and outlet tees to ensure they are in good condition. He will also provide a service report that includes the septic tank level.
