Your home’s plumbing system relies on a septic tank to remove household waste and prevent it from entering the drainage field. It’s important to have your septic tank pumped regularly to ensure it continues working properly. Septic tanks that are not pumped frequently can overflow, exposing your home to raw sewage and causing damage to the drain field and other components in the plumbing system.

When sewage enters the Jacksonville Septic Tank Pumping, it begins to settle and separate. Heavy solids sink to the bottom of the tank and form a layer called sludge, while lighter waste like fats, oils, and proteins float to the top. The liquid in the middle, known as effluent, is then discharged into the drain field for further treatment by soil microbes. Having the septic tank pumped regularly ensures that solids do not get into the drain field and clog or otherwise damage it.

The frequency with which your septic tank needs to be pumped will depend on factors such as the size of the tank, how many people live in your home, and whether you have a garbage disposal. However, a good rule of thumb is to have the tank pumped once every three to five years.

Some of the first signs that your septic tank is due for pumping are slow-draining fixtures and a sickly odor. If you notice either of these symptoms, contact us to have the septic tank pumped as soon as possible. Pumping your septic tank regularly will reduce the risk of having it overflow, causing costly repairs and damages to your plumbing system. It can also help you avoid having to sell your home, as prospective buyers will be turned off by the sight of a swampy area around the septic tank.
