Septic Tank Pump Outs in Fort Pierce and the Treasure Coast

The septic tank is a part of your property that normally gets little attention until something goes wrong. A combination of regular maintenance and scheduled flushing or pumping out the tank will help keep it running smoothly. 

Why Pump Out a Septic Tank?

Although septic tanks are designed to empty regularly, quite often the heavier sewage collects at the bottom of the tank. This is especially true if you pour grease down the drain as it tends to settle to the bottom quickly and not get released into the soil. 

The greater the buildup, the more likely your septic tank will start to backup or not operate properly. It no longer has the capacity to hold the sewage and let it flow out normally. By having it flushed or pumped out, you restore the original capacity of the septic tank. Plus, you may avoid issues that otherwise might occur if you do not have the tank pumped on a scheduled basis. 

When to Pump Out Your Septic Tank?

There is no hard and fast rule as to when your septic tank should be flushed and pumped out. However, there are a few guidelines that you can follow which will help you make the best-informed decision about when to do it. 

• How many people live in your household?
• The size of your septic tank
• The age of your septic tank 

So, for those who live alone or couples in a home with a large septic tank, you may only need to have it pumped every four to five years. However, if you have several people in the home and a small septic tank, you may need to have it pumped every few years. Remember that the time when you pump the septic tank may change based on its age, design, and overall condition. 

Plus, you may want to have your septic tank replaced. For those with a lot of people living in their home, replacing a small septic tank with a large one not only means having fewer times to pump it out, but it makes it less likely to backup or experience other issues.
