When wastewater enters a septic tank pumping, solid waste settles at the bottom while lighter materials float to the top. Over time, the buildup of solids reduces the amount of space available for new wastewater to enter, resulting in clogs and backups in the drain field and possibly environmental contamination. Having the tank pumped regularly minimizes this risk, extending the life of the system and protecting property owners from expensive repair bills.

How often a septic tank needs to be pumped depends on the amount of solid waste entering the system and how frequently the house is used. Most septic tanks need to be pumped every three to four years for an average family, but the frequency can vary based on usage and the size of the septic tank. Signs that a septic tank is full include slow draining, odors, or pooling water in the yard or near the septic system.
