Septic Pumping
Compare septic companies that show septic pumping among their service details.
Septic tank pumping is the routine service of removing accumulated sludge and scum from the tank so it keeps working the way it's designed to. It's the single most common reason a homeowner calls a septic company, and it's different from a repair or installation job.
Most conventional tanks need pumping every 3 to 5 years, though household size, tank size and garbage-disposal use can shift that. Our guide to how often to pump a septic tank walks through what changes the interval, and our guide to the signs your tank needs pumping covers what to watch for between scheduled visits.
