When Should You Pump Your Septic Tank?
You don’t have to wait for a backup to have your septic tank pumped. Routine pumping helps remove accumulated solids before they can create problems for your septic system. You should also call if you notice signs that your tank may be overdue for service.
- Slow or gurgling drains
- Sewage backing up into the home

Frequently Asked Questions About Septic Tank Pumping
How often should a septic tank be pumped?
How often your tank needs pumping depends on the size of the tank, the number of people using the system, and the age of the system. The recommendation is 3-5 years, but every system is different.
Do I need to be home when my septic tank is pumped?
Not necessarily. As long as our technicians have access to the property and septic tank, we can often complete the service without you being home. We can discuss access and any special instructions when your service is scheduled.
How long does a septic tank pump-out take?
Most routine residential pump-outs can be completed relatively quickly once the tank is located and accessible. The amount of time can vary depending on tank accessibility, size, and the condition of the system.
Why did my septic tank fill back up after it was pumped?
A septic tank normally contains wastewater and will begin filling again as soon as the system is used. However, if you’re experiencing backups or problems shortly after pumping, there may be an issue with the drain field or another part of the septic system. Pumping the tank does not repair a failing drain field or other system problems.
How do I know if my septic tank needs to be pumped?
Slow or gurgling drains, sewage odors, backups, or unusually wet areas around the septic system can all indicate a problem. If it has been several years since your last pump-out—or you don’t know when it was last pumped—it may be time to have the system checked.
