From 250 to 300 gallons of wastewater is what the average home Orlando home with 3 occupants produces per day! This is a lot of water for your septic system to process everyday. Just like having the oil routinely changed in your car , your septic tank needs to be cleaned on a regular basis. If not, the repairs can be expensive and both can fail and break down sooner than expected.
Is it necessary to have my tank cleaned?
Properly caring for your septic system protects your family’s health and the water you drink. It also extends the life of the system and can save you money in the long run, replacement and repairs can be costly.
How often does the septic tank need to be pumped?
This depends on many variables, the size of the tank, how many people live in the house, water usage, and how well the system is cared for. Usually, it’s every 3 to 5 years for a family of four.
A good rule of thumb, when the level of the scum and sludge reaches 30% of the tank capacity, it needs to be pumped. If you can’t remember the last time you had your tank pumped, it’s probably time, an inspection will be able to tell you the condition of the system.
What will my yard look like after my septic tank is pumped?
