Septic Tank Pumping

24 Hour Call-Out Emergency

When having your septic tank pumped, it is important you have it done by a professional. The technician who comes out to evaluate the condition of your tank will be able to help you determine its condition and how often you need to have it pumped.

This evaluation is extremely helpful and ensures you have all the information you need to care for and properly maintain your septic tank all year round. One of the best ways to ensure your septic tank pumping is carried out with enough regularity, it by having it inspected regularly. Although most septic tanks only need inspection once every 3 years or so, it is best to do it more often than not as this helps you ensure your septic tank is properly maintained and effectively cared for.

Why Do Septic Tanks Need Pumping?

Even if your septic tank seems to be operating fine, periodic pumping is essential maintenance that cannot be neglected. Septic tanks need thorough pumping on a regular basis to remove solid waste deposits that accumulate at the bottom of the tank over time.

When waste solids are allowed to build up, they can clog pipes, back up drains, and even cause sewage to overflow outdoors. Just because you aren’t experiencing issues yet does not mean your septic tank doesn’t need attention. Preventative pumping helps maintain optimal performance and extend the life of your system.

During pumping, the licensed technicians at Coastal Drains use industrial-strength equipment to remove sludge, grease, and solid accumulations before they can cause problems. We inspect your tank and pipes while cleaning.

Setting up a regular septic tank pumping schedule, such as yearly or bi-yearly, provides essential preventative care to keep your system running smoothly for many years. Don’t wait until you have an emergency – contact Coastal Drains today!

Things to Look Out For

  • Standing Water around Your Property
    When your septic tank is full, the water can start to pool in multiple places around your home and garden. However, the most notable place for pooling water to gather is around the drainage field itself. Pooling water is another serious indication that your septic tank needs pumping and it should be inspected immediately.
  • A Backup of Sewage
    Sewage backup is one of the most common signs your septic tank needs pumping and it is a rather unpleasant problem to have. If you don’t have your septic tank regularly pumped and you ignore any or all of the above-mentioned signs, it is very likely you will have a raw sewage backup in your property.
  • Slow Running Drains
    Having slow-running drains is one of the most common signs your septic tank needs pumping. If your toilet isn’t flushing properly and your drains are taking a long time to drain, it’s very likely that your septic tank is full and needs emptying. Count yourself lucky that you have been given a chance to fix the problem before sewage starts overflowing and things get messy!

What Affects Pumping Frequency?

There are many factors to take into consideration when it comes to septic tank pumping frequency. Although most people only need to have their septic tanks pumped every one to two years, this is dependent on the number of people living in the property, the size of the house, and the regularity of daily visitors. It’s important to remember that the more people you have in your home, the more wastewater is being pumped into your septic tank and, therefore, the more regularly it will need to be emptied. Other considerations are the age and size of your septic tank and the seasonal changes that may affect it.

One of the best ways to ensure your septic tank pumping is carried out with enough regularity, it by having it inspected regularly. Although most septic tanks only need inspection once every 3 years or so, it is best to do it more often than not as this helps you ensure your septic tank is properly maintained and effectively cared for.
