Service Tank Care

Septic tanks require regular pumping by trained professionals to remove sludge and floating scum that accumulates in the tank as the wastewater passes through the tank. It is recommended to have your septic tank pumped every 3-5 years, however this can vary on the tank size, number of people using the septic system and the amount of water the household uses. Some indicators of septic problems are clogs or full septic tank, include slow-flushing toilets; slow drainage or water backing up into sinks, showers, or tubs; gurgling drainpipes. Unpleasant odors around the house are another obvious symptom.
