Septic tanks should be cleaned every 3 to 5 years depending on household size and usage.
Regular pumping of your septic tank will reduce accumulation of scum and sludge layers in the septic tank. Regular maintenance of your septic tank will not only keep the system operating at an optimal level but help extend the life of the system by keeping solids out of your drain field.
In addition to a septic tank, some homes may have a pump tank or a pump basin.
You may have access risers with a green round lid, the size of a garbage can lids at surface in your yard. This will make easy access to inspect, maintain and pump the effluent if the pump has quit working. Pump tanks are underground near the septic tank, depending on the year the system was installed.
A pump tank or basin collects effluent from a septic tank, or ATU (Alternative Treatment Unit) before it pumps the effluent to the drain field area.
