A full septic tank can cause major problems inside and outside of your home. Your drain field outside will become saturated and the ground will be wet and smelly. Inside your home, you may discover that your toilets aren’t flushing, your sinks aren’t draining and that you have backup in your shower drain. If any of these issues are going on in your home, contact a company that does Septic Tank Pumping in Memphis right away.
What is the process for pumping out a septic tank?
A technician will arrive at your home in a large septic pumping truck. After removing the lid to the tank, the technician will place a long handled tool into the tank to break up some of the sludge from the sides of the tank. Next, he will place a long hose that’s connected to the truck down into the tank. After turning on the vacuum suction of the hose, the contents of your septic tank will be sucked up into the hose and transferred to the tank on the truck. After the tank is pumped out, he will remove the hose and replace the lid on your tank.
How frequently should I hire a professional to pump out my septic tank?
This all depends on the number of people that live in your household and the amount of water and sewage that’s generated. For a four member household, you should have your tank pumped out at least every three years. For a two person household, you can probably go about five years between each pumping.
Are there any hazards associated with not having regular Septic Tank Pumping in Memphis?
When your tank becomes too full and saturates the ground, this is putting all types of germs and bacteria on the surface and into the soil around your home. During a heavy rain, this can run off into creeks or other water sources and cause contamination. Sewer water back up in your house is also very unhealthy and the same germs and bacteria are now in your home.
