Septic tank pumping is the process of disposing, treating and collecting wastewater in a residential area where public sewer systems aren’t available. A septic system is a large underground tank that holds waste until it can be processed by the soil. The septic tank also serves as an effluent filter that allows sewage to percolate through the soil, where bacteria break it down and dissolves organic material. It is a more environmentally friendly alternative to sewers, which use toxic chemicals and heavy machinery to dispose of wastewater.

One of the most important things you can do to keep your septic system in good working order is to get it pumped regularly. A septic tank that isn’t pumped will become full of septage, which can cause problems with the drain field and your plumbing.

The Role of Septic Service in Preventing Backups and Overflows

If you don’t know when your septic tank needs to be pumped, several signs can help. For example, if you notice that your fixtures are draining sluggishly, it’s time to have the septic tank pumped. Also, if you can smell a sickly odor in your home, this is another sign that the septic tank needs to be pumped.

To pump your septic tank, the technician will locate it and open the access lid. They will then inspect the waste to determine how much liquid is in the tank. This is important because it will determine if the septic tank needs to be cleaned or if the liquid level is normal. Then, they will empty the contents of the tank using a large truck with vacuum equipment.
