FAQ's

How to tell your septic tank is full and needs emptying:

How often does your septic tank need to be serviced?

The average household septic system should be pumped every two to three years. Four major factors influence the frequency of septic pumping:

Household size
Total wastewater generated
Volume of solids in wastewater
Septic tank size

What are risers?

Risers are caps that allow access to the tank from above the grounds surface. Since digging is not required with risers it can reduce maintenance costs by eliminating digging fees. Typically the cost of risers will pay for themselves after a few septic tank pumping, depending on how deep your system was originally installed.

How often do the Filter need to be serviced?

In addition routing pumping most manufacturers recommend cleaning the filter in your septic tank every 6 months for proper operation. This will restrict solids from leaving the tank and prevent problems in your drain field and outgoing septic tank line.
