If you are scheduled for septic pumping services and wonder what the process entails, this video will answer many of your questions. Septic pumping should be done about every three years for an average size household. When the septic professional comes to your home the first order of business is to locate your tank and the access lid to the tank.
The septic professionals use a prodding tool to locate the lid of your septic. They then dig the lid up by removing the dirt that is covering the tank. Some professional services will give you a discount if you dig the lid up yourself and have the exposed lid ready for when they arrive.
Once the lid is opened a hose from the tank will be used to suction out any and all waste in the tank. After the tank has been cleaned out, it will be inspected to ensure there are no problems with the tank. The septic pumping professional will discuss the results of the clean-out and the inspection. This is a great time to talk about how much maintenance you should be having on your septic tank. This video will help you get ready for your septic pumping services. Watch now.
