Be Sure to Pump Your Septic System Every Three to Five Years
It is recommended that you have your septic tank pumped by a professional every three to five years; however that also depends on the amount of water that is used in your house. If your household consists of a large family and excess water is used, it is extremely important that you have your septic tank pumped more often. Also, if you havent had your tank pumped in five years or more, we recommend having it pumped soon. There is a chance that there may be excess sludge built up in the system, even if your system seems to be working properly.
Drain Field
If your toilet is backed up or running slowly, chances are that your drain field may be clogged or you may be using excess water. If this is the case, it may keep your septic system from functioning properly. Also, if you notice a foul odor around your home, drain field or septic system there may be an issue with your septic system and how it is functioning. If you notice a strong odor, give me Mr. Rooter Septic a call and we will diagnose the issue for you.
