How Often Should I Pump Out Septic Tank?

When it comes to the septic tank system in your home, it’s probably one of the most used systems in your home. Depending on the size of your family, it most likely gets used every couple of hours if not every hour. Your septic system is like most systems in your home – they need some attention and maintenance every once in a while.

Depending on location, most septic tanks are made to last about 3-5 years before needing pumping. As years go on and your septic tank experiences a lot of use, there are a lot of things that build up within your pipes – grease, hair, waste, etc. The team at Septic Blue of Raleigh recommends sticking with the standard septic tank pumping schedule of doing it every 3-5 years.

Septic Tank Pumping Schedule

When your septic tank is working properly, the solids within the tank are contained and broken down by the different bacteria within the system. But as the years go on and your system keeps breaking things down, the waste does build up and your septic tank will need pumping.

The team at Septic Blue of Raleigh recommends getting your septic tank pumped every 3-5 years. The term of inspection depends on the age of your home and the amount of usage your system sees on daily basis. If you live alone and spend most of your day at work, you can get your septic tank pumped every 5 years. If you have a family of 6 that is home during the day, you may want to get your septic tank pumped every 3 years to play it safe.
