About this service

Summer often means more houseguests and increased water usage, which puts extra demand on your septic tank. With more showers and laundry loads, it is easier for a tank to reach capacity. If you have guests coming over, consider a pump-out beforehand to avoid an inconvenient backup during your family gatherings.

Frequently asked in Baltimore

What is the purpose of a septic tank?

A septic tank is an essential part of an on-site sewage treatment system, collecting all wastewater from a home not connected to a municipal sewer. It separates solids from liquids, with the solids settling to the bottom as sludge. The liquid effluent then flows to a drain field for further treatment and absorption into the soil.

What is the average cost of a septic tank?

How long do septic tanks usually last?

When properly maintained with regular pumping and careful use, a septic tank system can last for 20 to 30 years or even longer. The quality of the initial installation and the materials chosen also play a crucial role in its longevity. Regular inspections are advised to ensure optimal performance.

How often do septic tanks need to be emptied?

Typically, septic tanks should be pumped every 3 to 5 years. This timeframe can be shorter for households with more occupants or higher water usage. For residents in the Baltimore area, it's best to consult with a septic professional to establish a pumping schedule tailored to your specific system.
