What happens if my septic tank isn’t pumped out? What happens if you don’t take care of your car? For example, if you didn’t change the oil in the car, it probably wouldn’t break down immediately, but over time it would wear on the engine and have negative effects on the car. Eventually it would break down and leave you stranded on the highway and cost a lot more than an oil change to get it fixed.
It’s the same with your septic tank. Depending on how many people living in the house and size of the septic tank, it should be pumped every 2 to 5 years. If you forget and wait another 6 months to have it pumped it probable won’t break down but it will cause unnecessary wear and shorten the systems lifespan. If it does break down, fail or back up, it will end up costing a lot more than just a simple pumping.
What happens if you don’t get the tank pumped?
The septic system is designed to take waste and paper from the house to the septic tank. Over time the solid matter breaks down into sludge and the liquid continues to the drain field. The sludge is meant to stay inside the tank, not building up until it starts going into the drain field or backing up into the house. By the time this happens, you’re left stranded on the side of the highway, it can be expensive to fix.
