Staying up to date with preventative septic tank maintenance service is essential for protecting your home and eliminating the need for costly repairs down the road. With regular septic pumping service, you can keep it running like it should and avoid the headaches that come with system failures and backups. Here’s what you need to know about septic pumping and why it’s important for your home and yard.

septic pumpingAll septic systems will accumulate sludge over time. When this builds up, it can rise to the top of your tank. If left unaddressed, the thick, viscous film can seep out of your tank and block your pipes. In addition to blocking your pipes, an overflowing tank can also result in sludge backups in your drain field.

Extensive damage can occur when sludge reaches your drain field since this material can block your soil and prevent effluence from draining as it should. These blockages often result in raw sewage overflowing out of the drain field and into the yard. Sewage backups are not only unhealthy, but they are also costly to fix. This requires having the sewage removed and your drain field repaired or replaced. 

All of these problems can be prevented with routine septic pumping service. Depending on the size of your tank and family, it will need to be pumped on average every three to five years by a professional septic service provider.

Being proactive with your maintenance is the key to avoiding catastrophic septic system failure.
