There are a number of reasons why you should bring in a professional for routine septic tank cleaning. This process helps to keep your property safer, healthier, and cleaner, while reducing the risk of septic tank backup or overflow. Septic tanks can also become clogged when large items are flushed, which will lead to bigger problems that are more difficult to fix. Septic tank cleaning, also referred to as septic tank pumping, involves bringing a pump truck to your property and getting rid of the layers of solid waste that stay behind as liquid moves through the pipes and into the drain field. Most septic tank manufacturers recommend having the service done at least once every five years, although those with higher volumes of usage and/or smaller tanks should have it done more frequently.
Another reason why septic tank cleaning is so important is that it can maintain the good quality of water for your family as well as members of your community. If your tank does become clogged, it can leak contaminated material into the ground below, putting the water supply at risk. If your tank gets clogged, it can also lead to bursting and other damage, and it can cost thousands of dollars to repair or replace the damaged items. We discourage use of chemical drain cleaners and recommend that you never flush tissues, grease, hair, or other waste items down the drain to lessen the risk of clogging.

Hidden
Why is septic tank cleaning important?
Regular septic tank cleaning removes built-up solid waste which prevents backups, overflows, or system damage. This helps you avoid costly repairs and protects your property, while also getting the best lifespan from your septic system.
How often should my septic tank be cleaned?
A general rule of thumb is to have your septic tank cleaned once every five years, but this can vary depending on how much wastewater your home or business generates, along with the size of your tank. We highly recommend chatting with our team to get an accurate assessment of your septic system, which will allow us to provide a suitable schedule for your needs.
What happens during a septic tank cleaning service?
During a septic tank cleaning, we bring a specialized pump truck to your property and access your septic tank. We remove accumulated solids and sludge, which restores your tank’s capacity and keeps everything running smoothly. We will make sure your tank and site are secure before we leave.
How can I maintain my septic system in-between visits?
The best way to look after your septic system after a septic tank cleaning is to be mindful of what you put down the drains. Avoid flushing wipes, grease, hair, and other large or non-biodegradable items. These materials contribute to clogs and increase the rate at which solids build up in your septic tank. Routine cleaning is always necessary, but intentional household habits make it more effective.
