While every septic system is different, as part of your septic tank maintenance it is recommended that your septic tank be emptied every 2 – 5 years. When septic tank pumping is performed periodically by an experienced septic tank company, the risk of you having to deal with a sewer emergency or drain blockage decreases. A septic pump out only takes 20-60 minutes to empty (depending on the size of the tank) and often can spare you from having to spend more money and dealing with health issues in the future.
