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 Colorado Springs

What is the purpose of a septic tank?

A septic tank acts as an on-site wastewater treatment system for homes not connected to a municipal sewer. It collects all household wastewater, separates solids from liquids, and allows solids to decompose. The liquid effluent then travels to a drain field for further filtration and absorption into the soil. It's key for sanitation and environmental protection.

What is the average cost of a septic tank?

How long do septic tanks usually last?

With consistent and proper maintenance, a septic tank system can last between 20 to 30 years, and sometimes even longer. Key practices like regular pumping and avoiding the disposal of non-biodegradable items are crucial for its longevity. Neglecting these can lead to premature system failure and costly repairs.

How often do septic tanks need to be emptied?

Most septic tanks require pumping every 3 to 5 years. This recommendation is influenced by factors such as the tank's size and the number of occupants in the home. Households in the Colorado Springs area with higher water usage may need more frequent pumping to maintain optimal system performance.
