Septic Tank Pumping

Professional Septic Tank Pumping Company Serving Syracuse, NY, and Surrounding Areas

Septic tanks offer safe and cost-effective sewage systems for homes and businesses not connected to the main sewer line. A sewer tank requires regular care and upkeep to run efficiently. Septic tank pumping is an integral step of septic tank maintenance. It is the process of removing accumulated wastewater and sludge from the septic tank. The septic tank should be pumped before the waste collects up to the level that can clog the outlet pipes. 


As a rule of thumb, a septic tank should be inspected every two to three years, and mechanical pumping is required every three to five years. However, the frequency of septic tank pumping depends on several factors, including household size, septic tank size, the amount of wastewater produced, and the volume of solids in the wastewater. The septic pumping service has large tanker trucks with mounted vacuum equipment to extract the septic tank contents. 


All septic tanks, even those functioning well and not showing any signs of problems, should be professionally pumped regularly to ensure reliable performance. Failure to do so periodically can cause a range of issues. Pumping prevents sludge from flowing out of the tank and entering into the secondary treatment system to ensure proper septic system functioning.

Benefits of Septic Tank Pumping

  • Avoid drain backup: Preventative septic pumping goes a long way in avoiding backed-up drains. It allows wastewater to travel freely through the plumbing system and prevents clogs, slow drains,  and other severe issues that can demand costly repairs.


  • Prevent water contamination: A full or overflowing septic tank reduces the efficiency of the drain field to filter properly by clogging it up with waste, resulting in water contamination. Regular septic tank maintenance, especially in households that get water from a well, reduces the chances of underground water contamination by preventing contaminants from releasing into the ground.


  • Save money: Routine septic tank pumping and maintenance prolong tank life, ensure high performance, and alleviate the risk of damages. It helps save money on repairing costly property damages and premature septic tank component replacements resulting from overflowing septic tanks. 


  • Prevent slow toilet flushing: Septic tank issues are responsible for the toilet not flushing correctly or making gurgling or bubbling noises. If it is not a clog, making the toilet flush slowly, a regular septic tank pumping will keep your toilet working smoothly. 


  • Protect the property: A septic tank can overflow if not pumped regularly. Untreated wastewater pooling in the yard, contaminating groundwater, or backing up from the drains can cause flooding and extensive property damage and become a severe health hazard for the family. Overflowing septic tanks can even make the property inhabitable. With periodic septic tank pumping, the tank is unlikely to overflow and protects the property, family, and surrounding environment from damage.


  • Prevent foul odors: A full or overflowing septic tank can result in foul odors and an unpleasant rotten egg-like smell from the pipes. You can prevent your home and yard from stinking by ensuring regular septic tank pumping by professionals.
