Q: How do I maintain a septic system?

• <div><p>Pump the tank every 3-5 years, avoid flushing non-degradable items, and address leaks promptly to extend system life.</p></div>

Q: What time of year is best to pump a septic tank?

• <div><p>The best time of year to pump a septic tank is spring because the ground is thawed and snowmelt and rainfall can help with proper drainage. Having your septic tank pumped before the summer months is ideal to avoid conflicting with vacations and outdoor summer gatherings. Fall is also a great time to pump your septic tank, and it can be less busy for contractors than the spring. </p></div>

Q: How often should a septic tank be pumped?

• <div><p>The septic tank needs to be pumped at least every three to five years. If the septic tank is too small for the property, you might find it needs to be pumped more frequently, and during an inspection, a septic company may recommend updating your system to a larger septic tank. While 750-gallon tanks used to be standard, septic tanks with a 1,250-gallon capacity are now more common. </p></div>

Q: What trash can I not dispose of myself?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-i-properly-dispose-old-house-paint.htm">Disposing of old paint</a>, bleach, oil, and fertilizer should be handled by a company that specializes in this kind of waste. Many private junk removal companies do not dispose of these items. Because these materials are hazardous to the environment and dangerous to handle or dispose of improperly, you should confirm with your local municipality about places to take hazardous materials for safe disposal. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to empty a septic tank?

• <div><p>On average, a one-time <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-septic-tank-pumping-cost.htm">septic tank pump costs</a> <b>$400 </b>(although prices can range from <b>$250 to $550</b>). You should empty it every few years, depending on the size of the tank and your household. Regular pumping is important to keep your septic system functioning properly; without it, waste can build up inside your septic tank, seep into your drain field, and back up into your pipes&mdash;which can be unsanitary, expensive, and smelly.</p></div>
