Why Is Septic Tank Pumping Needed?

Septic tank pumping is crucial in keeping your residential or commercial septic system operating efficiently. Regular septic tank pumping helps ensure reliable operation and prevent costly repairs.



Without regular pumping, the system can become overloaded, leading to backups and other problems. While the frequency of pumping varies depending on usage, it is generally recommended to have your septic tank pumped every 3 to 5 years.

How Can You Tell It’s Time to Pump Your Septic Tank?

There are several signs that indicate it is time to pump your septic tank. These include:

  • Slow Drains: If your sinks, toilets, and showers are slow to drain, it may be a sign that your septic tank is full and needs to be pumped.
  • Adverse Smells: An unpleasant odor in your home or around your septic system may indicate a full septic tank.
  • The Yard’s Not Draining: A soggy, wet, or waterlogged yard, especially around the septic tank or drain field, could indicate a full septic tank.
  • Standing Water: Standing water in or around your septic system is a clear sign that your septic tank is full and needs to be pumped.
  • The Grinder Pump Light Is On: If you have a grinder pump, the red light on the control panel may indicate that the pump is full and needs to be pumped.

What Items Should You Avoid Putting in the Septic Tank?

To avoid clogging your septic system and causing damage, you should avoid flushing or pouring the following items down the sink or toilet:

  • Feminine Hygiene Products
  • “Flushable” Wipes
  • Grease
  • Paint
  • Anything Non-Biodegradable
