How often should your septic tank be pumped?

While the range varies from every three to five years, the specific answer for your system will vary depending on:

  • Your septic tank’s capacity.
  • Type and amount of solids entering your tank.
  • Volume of water you use—higher usage gives the system more to dispose of.

With proper maintenance, a typical septic

system will last up to 30 years.


To extend the life of your system, consider the following:

  1. Practice water conservation by using water-efficient equipment.
  2. Avoid using a kitchen garbage disposal, which will require you to increase the size of your tank by 50%!
  3. Never put harsh chemicals or elements that do not decompose in your septic system.


Take heed of early warning signs to prevent major problems!

Initial indications that a septic system problem is building include:

  1. Slow draining toilets, sinks, showers, tubs, dishwasher or washing machine.
  2. Plumbing or septic back up in toilets, sinks, showers or bath tubs.
  3. Gurgling sounds in the plumbing system.
  4. Odors, wet spots or lush vegetation in the drain field.
