How Often to Pump Your Septic Tank

Your septic tank is an essential part of your home’s plumbing. 

It can be challenging to determine when to pump an overwhelmed system. With proactive maintenance services from Fenkner Septic, A Wind River Company, we will ensure your septic system runs properly.

Here's what you should consider when determining how often to pump your septic tank:

• The time since the septic tank was last pumped.
• For a family of 4 or more, we recommend having your system pumped out every 2 to 3 years
• The level or thickness of scum and sludge layers in the septic tank
• The building's usage since the septic tank was last pumped.
• The size of your septic tank will also determine how often it needs to be pumped.  

How To Know When to Pump Your Septic Tank

The question we hear most often is “How do I know if my septic tank needs to be pumped out?”.

Here are a few ways you can tell your septic tank needs to be pumped:

• Your sinks and toilets are producing a loud gurgling sound,
• Water drains slowly from the shower, bathtub, sink, and other areas,
• Sewer backups in the lowest drains, like in the basement, and
• Pooling water or a really green area of grass in your yard.
