Septic Pumping

What is septic tank pumping?

Septic pumping is a process which helps in eliminating sludge from the corners of the tanks. This has to be done to prevent the sludge from reaching a level where it can block the pipe through which the liquid flows to the drainage.

A water-tight septic tank is a container made of concrete, fiberglass, or polyethylene that is buried in the ground near the building. An inlet pipe is needed where all waste from the home's sewage pipe enters the tank and an outlet pipe that allows fluids to flow into the drain area. The top of the tank is buried slightly beneath the surface of the soil, opaque, except for one or two inspection tubes and a maintenance hole cover that is used to remove the sludge from the tank when it becomes necessary.

The drain system of the home moves waste water through one main sewer pipe to the septic tank of a standard septic system. All the sewage and waste carried by that water flows into the tank. Meanwhile, under the control of anaerobic bacteria, the solids in the tank break down, forming a sludgy substance that settles at the bottom of the tank. During the effects of bacterial activity, the solid wastes break down and decrease its volume.

When to get septic pumping?

It is recommended that the task of septic tank pumping should be done every 2-3 years. In case of mechanical pumping, it is required to empty the tank every 3-5 years. Pumping may be required annually for systems that are undersized or that see very heavy usage. There are electric float switches, motors, or mechanical parts in some systems, and these need to be tested more regularly, usually once a year.
