Crown Pumping, LLC is a vital service that helps to prevent costly system malfunctions. It’s also a great way to protect your property from unpleasant odors. This article explains how the process works and how often your septic tank should be pumped.
Septic Tank Pumping Process
When you schedule a septic tank pumping service, a licensed technician from Crews Environmental will first locate the septic tank access port or manhole. Once they’ve located the tank, they’ll use specialized equipment to remove the lid and a vacuum pump will be placed inside of the tank. This will suck up liquid, solid waste, and sludge from the tank until it is empty. Once the tank is pumped, the technician will inspect the drain field to ensure everything is functioning properly before closing and replacing the lid.
A common myth is that a septic tank only needs to be pumped after a certain amount of time has passed since the last pumping. This is false, as septic tanks need to be pumped at least every three to five years.
When a septic tank is not pumped regularly, solid waste and sludge accumulate, creating foul-smelling gases that can escape through vents or cracks in the septic system. The accumulated solids can also overflow into the drain field, which can lead to expensive repairs or even system failure. Regular septic tank pumping eliminates odors, protects the septic tank and drain field from damage, extends the life of the system, and mitigates potential health hazards.
