How Often Should a Septic Tank Be Cleaned?

Your septic tank is where all of the sewage from your home is collected. Inside the tank are layers of the various types of wastes that exit your home, from solids that sink to the bottom to the fats and oils that float at the top. The sludge of solids at the bottom of your tank must be pumped out before it can enter the pipes that make up your drainage system, otherwise, your system will experience a nasty breakdown. Wastes that enter the pipes can clog them and get trapped in the drain field, where gray water from the tank is absorbed. This misplacement of waste can prevent sewage water from being absorbed and leave your drain field smelling like sewage. Regular pumping can prevent this problem.

So, when should tanks be pumped to avoid this issue? The answer varies:


Tanks Serving 2 People or Less Should Be Pumped Every 5 Years

Tanks Serving More than 3 or More People Should Be Pumped Every 3 Years
