After a trip to the bathroom, that last thing we think about is where our water and waste go. Your septic acts as your personal wastewater treatment plant and, eventually, it does need to be emptied out. However, it can be hard to gauge exactly when you should have your septic tank pumped.
There are four main factors to consider when it comes to septic tank pumping needs: the size of your home, the wastewater produced, volume of solids, and the size of the septic tank. As a general rule of thumb, it’s recommended to have your septic tank pumped every three to five years. Of course, this may vary depending on the factors above. If you are not sure when you last had your septic pumped, it’s a good idea to call Mountain Top Portable Toilets and Septic Service. We can provide full pumping and repair services.
As mentioned, it can sometimes be tricky to determine if you need your septic pumped or not. However, there are some immediate telltale signs that indicate you need a septic pumping immediately.
Your toilet is connected to your septic tank. So, it is a direct link to identifying issues. If a septic tank is full, you may experience frequent clogged toilets and an unpleasant odor emanating from the toilet itself. In severe situations, an overflow may occur.
