Why Septic Pumping Is Essential

Every time you flush or run water, wastewater flows into your septic tank, where solids settle and are held while clarified water moves on to the drain field. Over time, these solids build up. The only safe way to remove them is through professional septic tank pumping.

If a septic tank isn’t pumped regularly:

Solids accumulate
The drain field becomes overloaded
Wastewater can back up into your home
The drain field can become clogged or permanently damaged
Repairs can become extremely costly.

Routine pumping protects your entire septic system and prevents emergencies. That’s why you should rely on the trusted septic pumping experts here at Hapchuk, A Wind River Company.

How Often Should You Pump Your Septic Tank?

The Pennsylvania Septage Management Association (PSMA), in combination with Penn State University, recommends septic tanks should be pumped every 2 to 3 years.

The amount of time between pumpings depends on system size, household usage, number of occupants, and waste volume. Regular pumping prevents solids from escaping into the drain field.

Hapchuk, A Wind River Company makes this simple with our septic pumping maintenance schedule, which includes:

A full system evaluation
A recommended pumping frequency
Reminders when your tank is due
Preventive maintenance tips to extend system life

Never wait for slow drains or sewage backups – routine pumping is far cheaper than drain field replacement.

CCLS Septic System Bacterial Enzyme Additive

Routine pumping is crucial, but maintaining healthy bacterial levels inside your tank is also important.

Modern cleaning products, such as bleach, disinfectants, and toilet bowl cleaners, often kill the beneficial bacteria your septic system needs to break down waste.

When good bacteria die off:

Solids decompose more slowly
Waste accumulates more quickly
Drain field pores can clog
Septic system performance declines

The CCLS Bacterial Enzyme additive restores these beneficial bacteria and supports efficient system operation.

How CCLS Helps Your Septic System

CCLS is a non-toxic, non-hazardous bacterial enzyme designed to:

Breakdown solids more effectively
Support natural bacterial levels
Improve wastewater treatment
Reduce odors
Protect the drain field
Help your tank operate more efficiently between pumpings

While no additive replaces regular pumping, using CCLS keeps your system healthier and functioning optimally.

How to Use CCLS Treatment Monthly

CCLS is an easy to use product, just follow these simple steps:

After your septic tank is pumped, a Hapchuk, A Wind River Company technician applies a 1-quart CCLS treatment directly to the tank to replenish good bacteria.
Each month, simply flush 1-cup of CCLS down the toilet to maintain bacterial levels until your next pumping service.

This simple routine helps reduce buildup and supports the longevity of your septic system.
