Emptying the septic tank
When is the right moment to pump my tank? How often do I have to do it? Can I do it by myself? These three questions are most asked by our customers. To determine the number of times you need to do the pumping, it needs to be checked by a few factors. How many people reside in your home? How many employees do you employ? The number of cleaning and pumping of your septic tank will be determined by the number of people using the facilities in your house or your company. Adding to that, the size of your septic tank is another factor which determines the frequency of pumping out the waste. A normal sized tank should be pumped once every two to three years ideally.
