Proactive Pumping: Use your Tax Refund to Stay Ahead of Septic Troubles

Now is a great time to consider septic tank maintenance. Septic pumping and cleaning are proactive steps to avoid costly repairs. Your tax return is on the way and will be used for incidentals or “fun money”. Why not use it to do some well-needed and important maintenance on your septic system?

Why Do I Need To Have My Septic Tank Pumped?

Your septic tank will naturally fill with solid waste and scum. If not cleaned out, these layers can build up over time. Some concerns are:

• Overflow into your drain field.
• Sewage backup into your home.
• Expensive system failure.

You may not realize it, but professionals recommend having your septic tank pumped every 3 to 5 years. This would depend on how many people live in the house and how old the system is. It is recommended more often, two to three years, if you have a large family, you use a garbage disposal a lot, and your tank is smaller than average.

Proactive Care

• Schedule your routine pumping with Lakeland Septic. Put it on your calendar.
• Keep a record of service calls.
• Have your system inspected during your pumping.
• Do not throw wipes, grease, or harsh chemicals down the drain.

It does not matter who installed the tank or what type of tank it is; Lakeland Septic has the experience to clean out your septic tank safely and correctly. On examination, we will also diagnose any problem that may be causing you concern.

Cost vs Risk

• Pumping can cost you between $250 and $600.
• Replacing a daily system will cost $10,000 or more.

These figures alone are why proactive pumping is worth it.
