More than 2.5 million septic tanks serve Florida residents, including rural residents of Winter Haven. Lakeland Septic specializes in helping our Winter Haven customers keep their septic systems running correctly and safely. One of the main ways we do this is with septic tank pumping.
Septic Tank Pumping in Winter Haven
Scheduled septic pumping is a critical factor in good tank maintenance. By keeping some space in your tank, you avoid the backups, odors and other problems that are sure to happen when pumping is neglected.
For most Winter Haven homes, proper septic pumping every five years is all that’s needed to keep problems from occurring. Your schedule could differ depending on the size of your tank and your drain-usage patterns.
6 Signs Your Tank Is Too Full
If you notice any of these six signs at your Winter Haven home, it’s time to schedule septic pumping:
- Strong sewage odors inside your house or outside near the tank
- Visible sewage in drains and toilets
- Drains or toilets running slowly or overflowing
- Damp or soggy patches of land in the yard above the septic system
- Lush green grass growing only over the septic tank
- Activation of your lift station alarm
Septic Tank Pumping: How We Do It
Our work for our Winter Haven customers is done to the “Lakeland Septic Standard,” which means zero errors and no cutting corners. We do jobs right, so you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your septic tank and overall system are working safely, efficiently and correctly.
Our septic tank pumping process looks like this:
- Access The Tank: First, we find the tank and make sure our crew and equipment can get to it.
- Pump The Tank: Using commercial-grade equipment designed for septic pumping, we remove the sludge that exists inside your tank.
- Wash The Tank: After pumping, we thoroughly wash down the surfaces of the tank.
- Inspect The Tank: Once the tank is clean, we perform an inspection to see if there is any damage that needs to be addressed.
- Secure The Tank: When the job is finished, we secure the tank lid with screws or mortar.
