The recommended frequency for pumping varies based on several factors, but generally, most systems should be pumped every 2-5 years. Factors that affect how often you need service include: ▫️Household size – More people means more waste, requiring more frequent service. ▫️Usage – Homes with high water use or a garbage disposal may need more frequent service. ▫️Past maintenance – If a tank hasn’t been regularly serviced, it may need immediate attention. 👉 If you can’t remember the last time your tank was pumped, it might be due!

If you're not sure when your system was last serviced and notice any of these signs, it may be time to schedule your pumping service: ❗ Slow-draining sinks, showers, or toilets ❗ Gurgling sounds from plumbing ❗ Unpleasant odors near drains or outside ❗ Patches of bright green grass over drain field ❗ Standing water or soggy areas in the yard

Things That Can Harm Your Septic System: ▫️Grease, fats, & oils (they solidify and clog pipes) ▫️Wipes (even "flushable" ones), feminine hygiene products, and paper towels ▫️Harsh chemicals or bleach ▫️Excessive food waste, even with a garbage disposal

​​​Not sure what size tank you have? No problem! You can still schedule your appointment and we can determine the size during your service. 📌 Note: Septic systems installed after March 31, 1995 typically have 1,500-gallon tanks (can be larger), while older systems typically have 1,000-gallon tanks.
