Septic systems are a great alternative to traditional sewer systems and are found in rural areas where sewage can’t be pumped into the municipal waste system. Designed to treat household wastewater, they involve piping that drains into a tank and then to a drainage field for further treatment and disposal. The tank must be pumped regularly to remove solids and scum from the wastewater. Regular maintenance also helps prevent problems, such as clogged pipes or septic system failure.

Before pumping, a professional will inspect the septic tank to determine the level of sludge and scum buildup. The technician will also check the inlet and outlet pipes to ensure they are free of cracks, corrosion or damage. He or she will also look at the baffles to make sure they are functioning properly and are not causing the septic tank to overflow.
Why Regular Septic Service Is Essential for Your Home
During the pumping process, a trained septic service technician stretches a vacuum hose from a truck that contains a powerful vacuum to an access point in the septic tank. This is a quick, efficient process that takes less than an hour. During this time, the technician will also clean and flush the septic system.
To reduce the need to have your septic tank pumped, limit the amount of water you use at one time. Install water-conserving devices in faucets and showerheads, fix leaking toilets and washroom fixtures and use appliances sparingly. Don’t plant trees or shrubs near your septic tank or drainfield; roots can grow into the septic system and cause a backup. Also, don’t drive or park vehicles or equipment on the septic system or drainfield.
