While the frequency you need to pump your tank may vary depending on its design and size, you should always watch out for warning signs to avoid a malfunction. Here are common signs that indicate you need to call for septic tank cleaning:

How the Septic Tank Pumping Process Works
Our septic maintenance and pumping process starts by uncovering your tank to access and open the lid. Next, we insert a high-power hose connected to our vacuum truck to pump the contents of your tank out of the sewage tank. This helps remove the majority of waste inside your septic tank. We then use water to wash the walls and remove any residual waste left behind. Once the tank is emptied and cleaned, we'll inspect it to ensure it's in perfect working condition. When done, we'll close the compartments and rebury the tank.
