Tucson Septic Pumping

Maintaining your Septic System is important, and failing to do so may result in a HUGE expense later down the line.

As a rule of thumb most Septic Pumping companies will tell you to pump your septic tank every 3 to 5 years. That's a good practice to follow, but if you want to know if you need septic pumping more often just find the septic tank and open the lid.

Once you have the manhole open on the septic tank you will see a buildup of scum floating on the top of the tank. If you see that the buildup inside the tank has risen above the inlet baffle in the tank (the inlet pipe) you will want to schedule a pumping call right away.

The Septic Certification is fairly simple, but there are some things you will want to consider when choosing which company to work with.

I have created a new website you can check out at http://www.tucsonsepticpumping.com-- I have made the site very simple and I try to only cover the basics of the process.

Septic Tank Pumping/Cleaning



If it's been awhile since you've thought about your septic system it might be time to have the tank cleaned.

Septic tank pumping should be done about every 3 to 5 years, depending on use. If you want to know if it's time to pump the tank you can locate the tank and dig it up yourself. Once you have it uncovered check the scum layer inside the tank. If the scum layer is over the top of the inlet baffle it's definitely time - failing to have the tank pumped may result in damage to the leach fields.

Septic Certification

When you are selling your home, and you have a septic system, you will be required to have the tank pumped and Certified.

The Septic Certification is a 10 page document that detail as much information as possible about your septic system.

When doing your Septic Certification, don't wait until the last minute. Try and schedule the Septic Certification at least two weeks before closing so you will have time to make any necessary repairs. Those that wait until the last minute typically find themselves having to move their closing date back at least a week.
