ALL SEPTIC TANKS NEED Periodic PUMPING - NO exceptions
Septic Maintenance is very important for a clean environment for everyone. I enjoy educating my customers and getting the job done right.

THIS COMPARISON COULD SAVE YOU A LOAD OF MONEY IN REPAIRS!!:
Compare an automobile to a septic system: The car's engine is very important. This would never be disputed because without an engine the car is useless. We all know that an engine needs periodic oil changes to keep running. If you don't change the oil the car will not last.
We all know this as fact. If you change the oil too frequent you waste a small amount of money but you don't have to worry about the motor failing to last. If you never change the oil then the car starts smoking and loosing horsepower and eventually fails and the engine is destroyed. How expensive is a engine?
Septic tanks are the engine to the septic system. They need periodic pumping out of the solids in the tank. If you pump the solids out when they need too then your system runs smooth and could last a lifetime. If you don't pump the solids out of the septic tank then the tank will eventually stop processing and the rest of the system will be impacted and fail. This is fact. This could take years before you see the damage but it will happen. I am not sure that I would like to roll the dice on that one. Pumping the tank more frequently then needed won't hurt the septic system but if you wait too long it will hurt the septic system and it will fail. Don't get caught with your pants down and no place to go....."PUMP THAT TANK!!."
Look Here for important info:
DO NOT flush down the toilet any flushable wipes, paper towels, facial tissues and no fats, oils or grease down sink.
This is the basic info on pumping septics that I send my customers on "how long should I wait to pump the septic tank?"
100 gallons of solids per person are deposited in a septic tank over a years time through toilets, sinks, laundry and dish washing machines. Normal use of water is 50 -70 gallons of water per day per person. The septic system treats the water and the solids stay in the tank.
The following is the frequency of septic tank pumping that should be used according to the above information assuming a 1000 gallon two chamber septic tank (most frequently used in NC). ( this is without a garbage disposal in which you would need more frequent cleaning):
Please note that this is just a general rules. People that work from home, Retired individuals or Home schoolers should increase pumping frequencies to maybe a half year earlier using the below schedule.
2 people living in the home produces 200 gallons of solids a year. It takes 5 years before the septic tank needs cleaning.
3 people living in the home produces 300 gallons of solids a year. It takes 3.5 years before the septic tank needs cleaning.
4 people living in the home produces 400 gallons of solids a year. It takes 2.5 years before the tank need to be cleaned.
5 people living in the home produces 500 gallons of solids a year. It take 2 years before the tank needs to be cleaned.
6 or 7 people living in the home really should consider pump outs at 1.5 years. Most systems are Maxed out at 6 people so consider your water usage.
