Septic Pumping
Septic pumping is a crucial maintenance procedure for septic systems, involving the removal of accumulated sludge and scum from the septic tank. Over time, solid waste and organic matter settle at the bottom of the tank, forming sludge, while lighter particles and grease float to the top, creating a scum layer. If these layers are not periodically removed, they can build up and cause blockages, leading to system failure and potentially expensive repairs.
After evaluating your usage and tank size, we’ll recommend a customized service schedule for optimal performance. Regular septic tank cleaning and inspection are essential, even without immediate issues. Like car maintenance, we suggest a three-year cleaning and inspection cycle for residential systems and an annual schedule for businesses. Avoiding disposal of items like paper towels, feminine products, garbage, and grease can also prevent blockages and maintain system health.
