Septic Pumping & Cleaning in Villa Rica, GA

When Should I Schedule Septic Pumping and Cleaning?

Every septic pump fills at different rates. If you have a small septic tank and a large, active household, then you can expect the septic tank to fill more quickly than a larger septic tank would. This is why annual septic inspections are so important. Typically, however, it is advised to have the septic tank pumped once every three to five years.
Septic cleaning is not performed as often as septic pumping, but it can be requested on an as-needed basis. Generally, property owners will have the septic system cleaned if they experience recurring issues like clogging and backups. We usually recommend a septic tank cleaning every other septic pumping appointment, but it’s best to have a septic specialist inspect your septic tank and determine the best course of action.

Signs of a Faulty or Overloaded Septic Tank

There is an access lid that allows property owners to inspect the septic tank, but most people don’t have to stomach it. There are secondary signs to look out for though. These include:

• Foul odors rising from the drains,
• Slow drainage, gurgling sounds, and backups in MULTIPLE drains, sinks, and toilets,
• Patches of overly lush and green grass in the yard,
• Puddles of rancid water or patches of soggy, smelly soil in the yard
