Septic Tank PumpingSeptic tank pumping is
one of the most effective ways for homeowners to maintain
their system. Proper maintenance of your system will help
protect you from the headache and cost of repairing a failed
system. The state recommends that a septic tank be pumped
every 3-5 years depending on the usage and condition of the
system. Below is a link to a usage chart that will help you
see how often your tank needs to be pumped. Along with pumping we also recommend installing a filter in your tank. Septic tanks installed in the last 5 years were required by state codes to have filters on them. "The use of a removable, cleanable effluent screen connected to the outlet is strongly recommended".-US EPA Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Manual. Outlet filters on septic tanks prevent solids from getting into the soil treatment system, protecting the most expensive part of the onsite system. |
