You may need septic pumping performed annually. Certain factors can increase how often you need septic pumping. For example, homes with a garbage disposal should have it done annually. If you have a large family you may need to have it done more as well, depending on the size of the tank.

Commercial or industrial buildings may also need to have it done more often. In these cases, it’s important for the building owner to keep a log with all the septic pumping dates listed. They should also note how full it was and if any other septic tank maintenance was performed or not.

Waiting too long for septic pumping can cause problems. Your septic system works on a few base principles. First, everything enters the tank. Then, the materials begin to separate. Lightweight particles, like fat and grease, will float to the top in a layer called “scum”. The heavier debris will sink to the bottom, forming what’s known as “sludge.” In the middle, cleaner liquids are allowed to exit the tank. As the layer of sludge builds up, the solids are able to build up to where the water should be exiting. This can cause a huge and unpleasant backup.

It’s always best to schedule septic tank pumping earlier rather than later. When in doubt, pump it out. We are a fully licensed and insured McDonald septic service company. Contact our staff today to schedule an appointment for your cleaning.
