Should you have the septic tank and leach field pumped at the same time?

• <div><p>You only need to pump the septic tank. The leach field allows the liquid and waste to naturally seep into the ground, so there’s no need to pump the leach field. You should call a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/septic-tank-cleaners/">local septic tank pumping service</a> to remove the materials from the tank every <b>three to five years</b>. Without pumping the septic tank occasionally, solids could flow into the leach field pipes and clog them.</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 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 frequently should a septic tank be emptied?

• <div><p>A septic tank should be emptied approximately once every three to five years, though this frequency will vary depending on your water usage, the size of your tank, how many people are in your home, and other factors. A maintenance plan for your septic system may be useful for professional emptying and inspection of other important parts.</p></div>

Q: What are the warning signs of septic tank or cistern failure?

• <div><p>If there&rsquo;s a problem with your sewage system, you might notice water pooling on the ground around the tank, which could indicate an overflow. Clogged and sluggish drains or foul smells coming from your plumbing are also signs that there might be a blockage in your septic system.</p></div>

They are punctual, efficient, well priced and the customer rep that I talked to when I inquired and later requested their services was not only polite but expressed concern when I called the day after severe weather in our area. She remembered me and where I live. I'd recommend them to anyone!
