Why Should You Pump Your Septic Tank?

Regular Septic Tank Pumping removes excess waste and water residue. These particles form clogs that block your septic system and lead to backups in your pipes. Pumping your septic tank allows water and waste to continue flowing smoothly through your plumbing system. Septic Tank Pumping and Cleaning is also done to get rid of the strong wastes on the bottom of your tank. The sludge has to be removed before it produces a build-up, and it also obstructs the outlet water pipe— the location where the fluid moves through— and drainpipes in the drainfield area

How Often Should I Pump My Septic Tank?

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) explains that septic tanks should be pumped once every two or three years. Get the support of the experts for help.  They already have the essential products like mechanical pumping equipment to pump out your tank. 

The regularity of a septic system pumping depends on many elements, including the actual size of your family, how much wastewater is made consistently, the quantity of strong waste, and the actual size of your septic tank. You could request the specialist at Full Service Septic, for a septic review to get an idea of the frequency of septic pumping services necessary for your house.

Having a backed-up septic system stinks! If you are one of the 25% of homeowners with a septic tank in your yard, you may experience an emergency one day. 


On average, septic systems should be checked and pumped every 3 years but it doesn’t always happen. Septic systems also rely on bacteria to organically break down waste material. Adding chemicals or non-organic material to the tank can kill the necessary bacteria for a healthy system. The result can lead to many homeowners’ worst nightmare.
