Preparing for Septic Tank Cleaning

Oct 15, 2021

Our Septic Cleaning Service Can Help You Prepare for Septic Pumping Services

Septic tank cleaning services should be a job left for the professionals, but there is plenty you can do yourself to save time and money. Depending on the size of a home and the number of occupants, a septic tank should be pumped every 1-3 years. During these septic tank service visits, the technician will determine whether a tank pumping is called for, but your septic system may give you indications that it is due for a cleaning before then.

In order to prepare for your septic pumping, it is important that you clear away any debris that may be surrounding your septic system. It is also helpful if you know where the septic tank is before the cleaning contractor arrives. We can also measure the depth of the tank content which will help you determine the best time for your next cleaning. Trust the professionals with your septic tank cleaning services, and contact our team today!

Clean Around the Septic Tank

During a septic tank cleaning service, the cover of the tank will be removed so the technician can assess the tank and pump the contents out. Any yard debris that fall into the tank during this process can catastrophically damage your septic components.

Get Rid of Your Mulch

Mulch is particularly harmful for septic systems, and many homeowners make the mistake of laying mulch around or near the septic system. When landscaping around your septic tank, we always recommend using stones as a septic-safe alternative to mulch. If you do choose to use mulch, make sure it is cleared far away from the septic system before cleaning.

Look Out for Indicators

An overfull septic tank can spell disaster for your septic system. You want to be sure you are keeping an eye out for the telltale signs your septic tank needs to be pumped. If you notice slow or gurgling drains, and septic odor inside your home, call our septic cleaning service immediately.
