Is It Time to Pump My Septic Tank?

Various factors contribute to when it’s time to pump your septic tank, but the general rule is that it should be emptied every three to five years. 

Consider these factors if you’re unsure when it’s time to pump your tank:

• Home size: How many bathrooms and other fixtures use water is critical to how often your septic tank needs to be cleaned. The more areas water is used, the faster your tank fills up.
• Total wastewater generated: The water fixtures in your home, their efficiency, and how often they are used contribute to the total amount of wastewater. Compared with the tank size, this number is the most significant indicator of when it’s time to pump your septic tank.
• Tank size: A smaller tank will need to be pumped more often, about every three years, but a larger one could go five years without a service. If you don’t know the size of your septic tank, you can find out when it gets pumped.
• People in the home: The more people who use a commercial space or live in a home, the more wastewater is generated. Depending on the size of your tank, this can mean you need septic tank pumping more often than every three years.
