Septic systems need to be pumped out periodically to keep your tank in good condition. As the septic tank is used, sludge gathers at the bottom of the tank and past a certain point, the sludge begins spilling beyond the filter. The more sludge that escapes the filter, the more problems that can arise. To prevent this, you will need to have a professional plumber from Ray The Plumber pump your tank every two years at minimum.
How often you should have your septic tank pumped depends on the size of your household and how many people live there. As a rule of thumb, schedule septic tank maintenance on an annual basis with our team. Call now at (631) 802-2344 for more information and to schedule service today!
Your septic tank will resume normal water levels soon after being pumped. It’s pretty common to see water in the tank; however, the water level must be at or below the bottom of your outlet line. If the water is above the outlet line, there is a problem with your system. If this should happen, call our pros at (631) 802-2344 right away!
While you can perform what is referred to as a “stick test,” it is recommended to hire certified professionals at Ray The Plumber instead. Our plumbers are trained with the knowledge and experience needed to identify underlying issues within your septic system. Not to mention, septic tanks can be quite hazardous in nature as they involve toxic waste, so it’s best to leave any maintenance tasks to our pros instead.
The cost to pump your septic tank system will vary based on a number of factors. To get a more accurate cost idea, call the pros at (631) 802-2344 to receive a free price estimate!
Yes, you can determine if you need to dig up your septic tank to pump it by checking to see if you have risers installed. If you do have risers installed, you will not have to dig the ground above the tank to have it pumped. Risers give easy access to the septic system without disturbing the soil above the tank.
