When wastewater leaves your home, it travels through your plumbing and makes its first stop in your septic tank. Here, fats, oils, and grease make their way to the top of the tank, an effluent layer finds its way to the middle, and solid waste settles at the bottom. Although the effluent eventually travels to the drain field, the fats, oils, grease, and solid waste remain in your tank unless they’re manually removed.
Over time, this built-up waste will start to leave less and less room for additional wastewater coming from your home, which is why having us come and pump your tank on a regular basis is so important. Generally speaking, septic pump-outs are recommended every three to five years, but how often you need to get your tank pumped can depend on several factors, like the size of your septic tank.
