Every time you flush a toilet or sink drains, the waste goes into your septic system where it is collected and disposed of. Over time, solid waste can build up inside your septic tank and reach its full capacity. This can cause clogged drains, backups and unpleasant odors. Getting your septic tank pumped can prevent these issues and keep your system in good condition.

Generally, you should schedule your septic tank pumping to occur when the sludge level is 1 foot deep in the bottom of the tank and the scum level is 6 inches thick in the top of the tank. You can test this by lowering a long stick into the tank, through the dark sludge at the bottom and checking the velcro strip on the end of the stick. The dark sludge will cling to the velcro and allow you to measure approximately how much sludge is in the tank.

When you hire a professional to pump your septic tank, they will come with a truck equipped with a large tank and a suction hose that can suck up the sludge and scum into their truck for disposal at a sewage treatment facility. The process usually only takes about a half hour or so, and once it’s completed, you can resume normal use of your household appliances.
