FAQs About Septic Tank Draining

Septic tank draining, also known as septic tank pumping, is a crucial maintenance task that keeps your septic system running smoothly. Essentially, solid waste accumulates at the tank’s bottom, forming sludge, while lighter waste, such as oil, floats to the surface. If the tank is not drained on a regular basis, these layers might overflow and block the system, resulting in costly repairs and potential environmental risks. Over the years, our team at American Waste Septic has been asked many questions about this process, some of which are answered below.

How often should you drain a septic tank?

The frequency varies depending on the tank size, household size, and wastewater usage. However, we recommend you have this service completed every time you have a backup. This allows us to see what might be wrong and offer recommendations to fix the issue.

What are the signs that my septic tank needs to be drained?
Slow drains, foul odors around the tank or drain field, pooling water in the yard, and sewage backups in plumbing fixtures are all common warning signs.
Can I pump my septic tank myself?
No, septic tank draining requires specific equipment and experience to ensure proper and thorough cleaning. We check all these boxes, giving you peace of mind that the task will be completed correctly the first time.
What happens if I don't have my tank drained?
Failure to maintain your septic system can result in obstructions, system failure, and environmental damage. Also, repairs and replacements might be far more expensive than they would be if maintenance and consistent septic tank draining were completed.
