When you hire septic tank cleaners, they will use a vacuum truck with a powerful hose to remove all the sludge from the inside of your septic tank. Generally, it’s recommended that you get your septic tank pumped every three to five years. However, factors like your household water consumption and how many people live in your home will affect how quickly you’ll need to schedule a pumping.
The Difference Between Pumping and Cleaning
Some septic service providers use the words “pumping” and “cleaning” interchangeably, but they actually refer to different things. Basically, pumping just gets rid of the liquid layer at the top and some floating solids. Cleaning goes further by also getting rid of the compacted sludge at the bottom of your tank. It’s also more thorough and helps reset your septic system, promoting better performance.
Signs that you need septic tank cleaning include toilets that don’t flush, slow drains, and strong odors near your septic tank. If you see any of these signs, it’s time to call a professional.
One of the most important benefits of septic tank cleaning is preventing sewage backups in your home. Sewage backups are not only dangerous, but they can also lead to expensive repairs.
