Keeping your septic system well-maintained reduces your need for costly repairs and prolongs the lifespan of your septic tank and the entire septic system. Frequent septic tank pumping is also the best way to prevent clogs and backflows that can damage plumbing fixtures, drain fields, and leach lines.

How often you need to get your septic tank pumped depends on the amount of solid waste in your wastewater stream. The more solids in your wastewater stream, the faster your septic tank will fill up, requiring frequent pumping. Some of the most important factors in this regard are household size, the number and types of appliances you have, and whether your home is new or old.

The Environmental Benefits of Pumping Your Septic Tank Regularly

Grease trap cleaning is the process by which a septic technician removes all liquid and solid waste from the septic tank. A septic technician uses a large vacuum truck equipped with a giant hose that enters the septic tank through its access port. This hose sucks up the sludge that has settled to the bottom of the tank and the lighter waste such as oils, fats, and greases that float on top.

Once the septic tank is emptied, the septic technician will inspect the tank and the surrounding soil for any potential problems. You can help facilitate this step by making sure the septic tank and its inspection ports are visible from the property and not covered or blocked by vegetation or debris such as fallen leaves.
