Septic Tank Pumping Frequency Guide
Regular septic tank pumping and system inspections prevent clogged drain fields, reducing your risk of costly repair. It’s not the most glamorous or convenient home maintenance, but it’s one of the most important. Septic tanks typically need to be pumped every two to five years, depending on tank size and household size. Mindful water usage in everyday activities, such as using high-efficiency toilets and adjusting washing machine loads, can help maintain proper septic tank service.
It can be septic service to locate septic tank access ports because they are buried underground and often covered by grass or dirt. Locating the port is an important step to take when scheduling septic tank pumping. If you are unsure where the tank is located, consult your home inspection documents or look for small hills or pits in your yard

Once the septic tank is empty, wastewater is discharged into the soil absorption field via a pipe. The effluent enters the soil where microbes and soil conditions provide final treatment. Solid waste is decomposed by the bacteria in the soil, leaving behind clean wastewater that leaves the septic system through the drainfield. The septic tank removes solid waste from the wastewater before it exits the tank, preventing clogged and failing drain fields.
Keeping a record of sludge and scum levels is the best way to determine when your tank needs to be pumped. It is recommended to schedule a septic tank pumping when the sludge layer is within six inches of the bottom of the tank or when the scum layer exceeds 25 percent of the liquid depth. Keeping up with routine maintenance will extend the life of your septic system and prevent expensive repairs.
