Grease trap cleaning may not be something you want to put at the top of your to-do list, but it’s an important part of keeping your septic system working properly. If you don’t have your septic tank pumped regularly, solid waste and sewage can build up in the drain field, which can lead to clogs or even system failure. Regular septic tank pumping helps to prevent these problems, and can also extend the life of your septic system.

Septic Tank Pumping 101: FAQs Every Homeowner Should Know

During the pumping process, a large truck with a septic tank and special equipment will arrive at your home. The professionals will hook a large hose to the tank and then insert it into your septic tank through an access point. Once they’ve connected the hose, they’ll start to pump out the sludge and liquid waste from your septic tank. Depending on the size of your septic tank, the entire pumping process should only take 30 to 60 minutes.

After the septic tank is pumped, the professionals will clean and flush your septic system to remove any residual waste that may still be in your septic tank or drain field. They’ll also inspect the septic tank to look for any cracks or damage that could cause future problems.

When septic systems are correctly maintained, they’re an excellent alternative to traditional sewers and help to protect groundwater supplies. However, improper septic system maintenance can lead to costly repairs and even worse, backups in your drains and the surrounding environment.
