Residential Septic Systems

Have your tank pumped on a routine basis, generally, every couple of years give or take depending on system age and the number of people using the system. Having your tank pumped out every 2 to 3 years is important for removing solids and concentrated liquids. Even the liquid in the tank will build up concentrations of oils and other particles, which can harm your drain field. Pump out service is also a good time to have the inlet pipe cleaned out. Keeping the inlet line free of buildup can prevent back-up!
