Is it time to have your septic tank pumped? Since most septic tanks only need pumping every few years, you may not be familiar with the process. If you are ready to schedule your septic pumping, here are a few tips to ensure you get a quality service performed and are prepared on the day of your service.
Finding a Quality Septic Pumping Service
First, you need a reputable septic pumping service. If you do not already have a company you can trust, do a little research to find a quality septic company. You want an experienced company that is licensed and insured; if any accidents happen on your property, you need to know the company you hire is covered for damages.
Preparing for Septic Tank Pumping
The trucks needed for septic pumping are large, and must be able to park within hose range of your septic tank. Make sure you know where your septic tank cover is located and ensure there is a clear path between the parking area and the tank cover. Move any vehicles that are parked in the area closest to your septic tank cover. In some cases, you can save money on your pumping service by locating your tank covers and removing the dirt on them before the septic service arrives. Ask when you schedule your pumping appointment if you will be charged extra for tank cover locating and uncovering.
In most cases, septic tank pumping takes less than an hour, if there are no problems or repairs needed. Make sure to ask about having your tank and equipment inspected during your service to check for any damage or issues to keep your system maintained.
