Septic tank pumping is a critical part of responsible home waste management. The more often it is done, the less strain it puts on drain lines, reducing the risk of unexpected and costly problems. Regular maintenance also helps to keep the septic system functioning properly and the surrounding environment clean.

Septic tanks contain household wastewater that is pumped through a series of porous pipes to a soil absorption field. The heaviest wastes sink to the bottom, while fats and oils form a floating layer called scum. In between lies a clear liquid known as effluent, which is discharged to the drain field via a distribution box and then into the soil for further treatment by soil microbes.

Solid waste buildup can contaminate groundwater and water supplies. When septic tanks are full, pathogens may leak out into the soil, where they will be broken down by bacterial action and then be further distributed to water-using appliances in the house or by rain runoff into nearby lakes, rivers, and streams. By having the septic tank pumped regularly, solid waste and harmful pathogens are removed from the system before they can leach into groundwater or soil.

If your septic tank is due for pumping, be sure to hire a licensed professional. It is not a job that you want to attempt on your own, as you could end up destroying components of the septic system without knowing it. Moreover, a septic tank that is not properly pumped can cause waste to overflow into your home and the surrounding property, leading to additional costs and a messy cleanup.
