Most septic failures happen because homeowners wait too long between pumpings. But pumping isn’t guesswork—it’s science.
Recommended Pumping Schedule
- 1–2 people in home → Every 4–5 years
- 3–4 people → Every 3–4 years
- 5+ people → Every 2–3 years
What Affects Pumping Frequency
- Laundry volume
- Garbage disposal use
- Water usage
- Age of your septic system
- Tank size
If you’ve never pumped your tank—or you’re not sure when it was last done—it’s time.
Why Regular Pumping Saves You Money
A routine pump costs a fraction of what a failed drain field costs. Preventative maintenance is the #1 way to avoid emergency backups.
