FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
"Septic Pumping Near Me?"
How often should I have my septic tank pumped, and does that change based on household size or tank size.
Most tanks need pumping every 3–5 years, but the right interval depends on tank size, number of people in the home, and water use habits. Households with many occupants, garbage disposals, or heavy laundry use may need more frequent service.

What shouldn't I flush or pour down drains to reduce pumping frequency and avoid clogs.
People should avoid flushing wipes (even “flushable” ones), feminine products, condoms, paper towels, and excessive toilet paper, as well as pouring grease, oils, harsh chemicals, or paints down drains. These items can clog lines, disrupt the biological balance in the tank, and increase how often pumping is needed.
Does pumping fix odors, wet spots, or backups
​Pumping often resolves issues related to an overfull tank or excessive solids, such as some odors and minor backup problems. However, persistent yard wet spots, strong ongoing odors, or repeated backups after pumping may indicate drainfield or plumbing issues that require further diagnostics and repairs. *Pumping does not guarantee these issues will be resolved.
