If you live in an area with a septic tank, getting the tank pumped regularly is one of the most important things you can do to protect your home and septic system.

A septic tank is a large underground container that holds sewage waste from your home. Typically, the tank is located on the property’s edge next to the main sewer line. The tank has an access lid and may also have inspection ports that connect to your septic system drain lines. The tank is buried six to 12 inches below ground.

The Importance of Regular Septic Tank Pumping with Busy Bee Septic

When the septic tank is full, solid waste settles in the bottom and floatable fats, oils, and greases rise to the surface. This overflow can contaminate the soil and water around your home, causing odors. By removing the solid waste and scum from the tank regularly, you can reduce the risk of unpleasant odors inside your home and clogs in your septic system.

Pumping your septic tank usually involves the service provider coming to your home with a truck and a large tank with a suction hose. They will remove the lid, then suck up the waste in the tank and load it into their truck for transport to a sewage processing plant.

To make the pumping process easier, try to minimize your water usage in the 1-2 days before the scheduled pumping date. This helps to ensure the tank doesn’t get filled up too quickly, slowing down the process. You should also consider having risers installed from the tank and the inspection ports to the surface of your yard. This is a one-time cost but will prevent the need to dig up and locate the tanks and openings for every pumping and inspection.
