DOUBLE FLUSH IS HERE TO HELP

Let’s explore how often you should pump your septic tank and why entrusting your septic-related needs to Double Flush Septic Services is a smart choice.

The frequency of septic tank pumping depends on several factors, including:

  1. Tank Size: The size of your septic tank plays a significant role in determining how often it needs to be pumped. Smaller tanks have less storage capacity and may require more frequent pumping compared to larger tanks.
  2. Household Size and Usage: The number of people living in your home and their water usage habits influence how quickly your septic tank fills up. Larger households with increased water usage will generate more wastewater, necessitating more frequent pumping.
  3. Waste Composition: The type of waste that enters your septic tank can impact its pumping frequency. Solid waste, such as grease, oils, and non-biodegradable materials, can accumulate more quickly, leading to more frequent pump-outs.

As a general rule of thumb, septic tanks should be pumped every 3 to 5 years to remove accumulated solids and prevent system failures. However, this timeline can vary depending on the factors mentioned above. Regular inspections by a qualified septic professional can help determine the optimal pumping frequency for your specific system.
