How Often Do I Need to Pump My Septic Tank?

6/11/2017

Pumping your septic tank
A common question we hear often, and the answer can vary for everyone, it all depends on a couple of factors.
​​Frequency of Pumping: 4 Major Factors
  1. Number of people in household: The more people the more you will need to pump. Generally, we like to say an average sized family will need to their septic system looked at every 3 years, and elderly couples every 5 years. If you have individuals in your household with long hair, we recommend that your filter is cleaned annually.
  2. Size of your septic tank
  3. The amount of wastewater generated
  4. The volume of solids in the wastewater

I love how you point out that the more people living in 9nthe house the more often the tank will have to be pumped. My brother has a septic tank and he's been talking about he needs his tank pumped because it's been a while. We'll have to look into finding a nearby professional to call to help my brother clean out the system,

I really appreciate you explaining that you get the filter cleaned every year if you have people with long hair in your home. My sister has been wondering about how often she should get work done on her septic system. She has three daughters all with long hair, so I'll share this with her so she can look into this more.

It really helped when you said that we need to have regular septic tank pumping services when there are many people in our household. With that in mind, I have to hire a plumber tomorrow to see if we already need that kind of service. We are six in the family and we have lived in this house for four years now.

Thank you for mentioning that a typical household has to have its septic system inspected every three years and senior couples every five. My mother said that the pumping of our septic tank had never been checked. I'll advise her to find a septic tank pumping specialist and arrange for the inspection every three years.

My drains have been getting clogged, so I think my septic tank has been getting full. It makes sense that I would want to get it pumped more often! I can see how having it done at least every 3 years would be good, since I have an average sized family.
