How often should I have my septic system pumped out?
It is recommended to have the system pumped out every 3 to 5 years. This can vary depending on factors such as:
· The size of your household
· Do you use a garbage disposal?
· Does your laundry water go through your system?
· Is there adequate bacteria in your system to aid in the digestion of organic solids?
· Do you want your system to last and work effectively as long as possible?
