Busy Bee Septic and Excavating LLC is a key part of proper septic system maintenance. It reduces the risk of clogs, backups, and system failure. It also helps keep the environment healthy by minimizing the amount of wastewater that flows into water bodies.

The septic tank pumping process involves three steps: inspection, pumping, and cleaning and flushing. First, the septic tank technician needs to inspect the septic tank and locate the access ports and manhole covers. The technician will look for signs of damage to the septic tank and the overall system, as well as determine how much sludge and scum has accumulated in the tank.

How Often Should You Schedule Septic Tank Pumping with Busy Bee

Once the septic tank has been inspected, it is time to begin the pumping process. The septic tank will be pumped until the solid waste has reached the bottom of the septic tank or two-thirds of the total tank volume. When the septic tank is pumped, a vacuum truck sucks out all of the sludge and floating solids, leaving only liquid wastewater in the tank.

As a general rule, residential septic tanks should be pumped every three to five years. However, if you use a garbage disposal or have a larger family, you may need to have the tank pumped more frequently. Regular septic tank pumping increases the life of your septic tank and minimizes the risk of system overflow, which can lead to costly repairs and contaminate groundwater and home plumbing fixtures.
