On top of sewage system servicing our team also offers all your septic tank maintenance and pump out needs to ensure the wastewater from your home is safely and efficiently being disposed of.

Septic System Pump Out

The septic tank collects and breaks down solid effluent, turning it into sludge. This lets the liquid waste part flow safely into underground areas called absorption trenches or leach drains. If not regularly pumped out, this sludge can accumulate and harm your septic system. That's why it's crucial to have a septic pump out, and cleaned, periodically to maintain its proper functioning.

You should pump out the sludge from the septic tank every 2 to 5 years before the septic waste sludge fills up to about 30% of the septic tank's space. Septic tank pumping should be done regularly in order to avoid septic tank problems such as clogging up the pipes and overflows, which can lead to an expensive repair or replacement, or damage to your home.

Septic tanks require regular septic tank maintenance to maintain their functionality and avoid costly repairs. The following are the main maintenance requirements.

Signs Your Septic Tank Needs to be Serviced

There are a few signs that your septic tank system needs to be serviced:

• Unpleasant odour similar to rotten eggs
• Excessive growth of grasses or plants around drainage areas or waterways
• Wet or puddled areas around the tank, or in downhill areas
• Slow drainage of your sinks, or toilets that backup
• If you haven't pumped your septic system in over 2 to 5 years, it is time to do so!
• It has been more than 12 months since you last checked your septic system
