Septic Pumping

Septic pumping is the process of removing the accumulated solids and sludge from your septic tank.
It depends! It's generally recommended to have your septic tank pumped every 3-5 years, depending on the amount usage within your household or commercial space.
Signs that your septic tank may need to be pumped include slow-draining fixtures, foul odors, and gurgling sounds from your plumbing.
Failing to pump your septic system can lead to a variety of issues, including backups, clogs, and system failure.
A typical septic pumping service takes about 1-2 hours, depending on the accessibility of the tank and its size.
No — it is not recommended to pump your septic system yourself, as it can be dangerous and cause damage to your system.

Septic Inspections

A septic system inspection is basically where a professional (that’s us) checks the condition and functionality of your septic system, including the tank, drain field, and other components. It helps you to identify any issues or potential problems, ensuring your system functions properly and remains in compliance with local regulations. All of those are very good things!
It is recommended to have your septic system inspected every three years.
