Most households need pumping every 2 to 3 years, depending on tank size and the number of people in the home. If you don't know when it was last done, which is common when you've just bought a house — have it inspected first. Waiting too long risks damage to your drain field, which is far more expensive to fix than the pump-out you were putting off.

Call us immediately if you notice any of these: sewage backing up into a drain, toilet, or shower. Sewage odors inside the house or in the yard. Wet, soggy, or unusually green patches of grass above the tank or drain field. Gurgling sounds coming from multiple drains or toilets. Slow drains throughout the entire house, not just one fixture. Any of these can indicate a full tank, a blocked line, or a failing system. Don't wait.
