Most people in Central Florida would rather not think about their septic system or the last time they had their septic tank pumped out. Here at Orlando Septic Services we get people calling us frantic because wastewater is backing up into their bathtub, there is a foul odor coming from their drain field and they have guests coming over in a few hours, or why is the ground where my septic tank is always soggy.
Here are a few basic reasons why
Generally septic tanks don’t need very much maintenance, but it is necessary to have them pumped out on a regular basis. If not, solid waste can build up creating a domino effect. The outlet pipes become clogged, then the drain field can start to fail, foul odors start to appear, and waste water can start backing up into your house.
How often you have the septic tank pumped out depends on a couple of variables, the size of the septic tank, how many people live in the home, and how much water is consumed. On average, septic tanks need to be pumped out every 3 to 5 years.
How do you know if your septic tank is full? This is a question we get all the time. Unfortunately, you have to open the lid on the tank and check the sludge build up, it is best to leave this up to a professional. Just a reminder, septic tanks can be dangerous.
