Three Signs to Schedule Septic Tank Pumping ServicesIf you count on a septic system to treat your home’s wastewater, one of the most important steps of properly caring for this is ensuring that its tank is pumped every three to five years, or more frequently as needed. Septic tank pumping serves to remove accumulated grease, oil, and solid waste while also giving an opportunity to inspect the various nearby components of your septic system to ensure everything is in working order.

If you suspect you might be due for septic tank pumping services, here are three signs to watch out for:

  1. Gurgling noises: Your septic tank may be full and require pumping if you can hear gurgling noises when water drains down your shower, sink, or toilet. This sound usually means that debris has collected within the tank, blocking the line and causing air to be pushed out of the drainpipe rather than water.
  1. Bad odors: Foul, sulfuric odors coming from your septic tank or outside your home can point to an overly full septic tank that’s causing sewage to leak.
  1. Slow drains or difficulty flushing: When wastewater isn’t able to flow through the drainpipe because of a blocked line, this can lead to a clogged, slowly draining, or hard-to-flush toilet. Scheduling septic tank pumping services to inspect, address, and remedy this issue can have your system returned to working condition.
