If you have a septic tank, you understand the importance of keeping it maintained and pumped regularly. No one wants the inconvenience of their septic system not working properly.

What is septic tank cleaning?
Septic tank pumping will remove the liquid and some sludge from your septic tank. Septic tank cleaning will also remove the compressed sludge from the bottom of your tank. We may have to add extra water or use a high-powered nozzle to remove this extra sediment.
How often should you schedule a cleaning?
Your septic tank needs to be regularly cleaned. However the frequency depends on a few factors: the size of your septic tank, the number of people living in your house, the size of your house, or whether you use enzymes or bacteria in your septic tank. We can help you determine the best timing of your cleaning if you give us a call.
Why is septic tank cleaning important?
Clearing the sludge from the bottom of your tank can make a big impact on the performance of your system. Your septic tank is connected to the plumbing system in your house. Any problems with your septic tank also affect your indoor plumbing. Cleaning your septic tank will ensure that your septic system continues to function and that it does not overflow into your yard or through your drains.
How do you know if your septic tank needs cleaning?
If you notice odors or slow drains, these are signs that your septic tank needs to be pumped. If you wait too long to pump your septic tank, it can overflow into your yard.
