Septic Tank Pumping and Cleaning
At Montgomery Sanitation Services, Inc., septic pumping is a core aspect of our comprehensive septic services. Regular septic tank pumping is crucial to maintaining the efficiency and longevity of your system, preventing costly backups.
Here are a few reasons to service a septic tank:
- Regular septic pumping prevents backups and overflows, which can cause significant damage to your property.
- Routine pumping maintains the balance of bacteria in the tank, which is essential for effective waste breakdown.
- Routine maintenance, including pumping, extends the lifespan of your septic system and drainfield by preventing the buildup of solids in the septic tank, as well as preventing sludge from reaching your drainfield.
Septic Tank Pumping: How Often?
The frequency of septic tank pumping depends on several factors, including the size of the tank, the number of people in the household, and the amount of wastewater generated. Generally, we recommend septic tank pumping every 3 to 5 years. However, households with larger families or higher water usage may need to pump more frequently.
Ground Access Risers
Ground access risers are essential components for modern septic systems, providing convenience and easy access to the septic tank from ground level.
These risers extend from the top of the tank to the surface, eliminating the need for extensive digging during inspections, maintenance, or pumping.
By installing ground access risers, homeowners can significantly simplify routine septic system care, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring that their system operates efficiently and effectively over the long term.
The Outlet Line
The effluent flows through the outline, which connects the septic tank to the distribution box.
Over time, if the septic tank is not pumped regularly, sludge and scum levels can rise, potentially reaching the outlet line.
This can cause blockages and force solids into the distribution box and drain field, leading to system failure.
