How Often Does Your Septic Tank Need Pumping?
Typically, your septic tank can go about three to five years before getting full enough that you need to pump it. However, there are situations where you may want to opt for septic tank pumping in Manlius, NY, sooner than that. These situations can include:
- Increased waste production in your home
- Caustic chemicals that kill off your tank’s healthy bacteria
- Flooding
- Damage to your septic system
Problems That Can Occur If You Don't Pump Your Septic Tank When It's Full
So, what happens if you never pump your septic tank? If your septic tank gets full, it will eventually overflow, which can be disastrous for your home.
First of all, you will probably know right away because the smell will be unbearable. Second, the overflow can contaminate the groundwater around your home. This is a very serious problem. Bad bacteria, nitrogen and phosphorous in your septic wastewater can make you and everyone around you sick and even presents a danger to pets and gardens. In addition, you may find yourself with some very unhappy neighbors if you have a septic tank overflow.
Once it happens, cleaning up the problem can be very costly, unpleasant and time-consuming. You can avoid all this with regular septic tank maintenance and septic tank pumping.
