Signs Your Septic System Needs Pumping

Regularly pumping your septic system provides protective maintenance that ensures your septic tank processes waste effectively and lasts a long time. The frequency and need for pumping can vary depending on the septic tank size and usage. Look for common signs your system requires pumping.

Slow Drainage

Toilet paper and other waste can cause septic tanks to clog and slow down the draining process. Excess buildup in the scum layer of your septic tank can also cause clogs and drainage issues.
When the drains in your house struggle to remove water from your appliances, such as your sink or toilet, you may need a septic system pumping. If your drains work slowly even after you unclog them, consider scheduling septic system maintenance.
