Septic Tank Services
Regular pumping of a septic tank is essential to ensure that a well-functioning system remains at its fullest operating potential. As a septic system is used, solids accumulate in the treatment tank while water passes through to the leach field. As sludge and scum layers accumulate in the tank over time, the solids have less settling capacity and will eventually breach the water portion of the tank. As a result, solids will begin escaping directly into the absorption field. This inevitable process may clog the distribution lines to the absorption area, thus creating serious, expensive, and sometimes irreversible problems.
To prevent this from occurring, the Pennsylvania Septic Management Association (PSMA) recommends that tanks be serviced approximately every 2-3 years depending on several factors, including tank size and the number of occupants in a home. Use our calculator to see when you need your next service!
