Septic Tank Cleaning vs. Pumping

Is your septic tank not working properly? When you call to talk to an expert, they might suggest you need cleaning or pumping services to see if that fixes the problem.

When you schedule pumping services, you can expect a technician to put a giant hose down the septic tank to suck up liquid, solids, and sludge from the top. This prevents these materials from settling at the bottom of the unit.

We recommend having your system pumped every 1 to 3 years.

The other service is cleaning. While pumping sucks up solids from the top, during cleaning services the water is drained from your tank, and everything from the bottom is cleaned.

How Often You Should Have Your Lake County Septic Tank Pumped

Experts recommend scheduling regular pumping services on your septic tank. In general, our technicians at Rocket Rooter Plumbing suggest having these services performed every one to three years. However, this timeline can vary based on other factors, including if you use a garbage disposal, or if you dumped items you weren’t supposed to down your drain.

Having a water softener and doing frequent loads of laundry can also impact when you should have your unit pumped.

If you’re not sure if your unit needs to be pumped, call our experts to have them inspect your system.

Benefits of Having Your Septic Tank Cleaned Regularly
