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 Milwaukee

What is the purpose of a septic tank?

A septic tank is an underground chamber that holds wastewater from your home. Its main job is to separate solids from liquids. The solids settle to the bottom, while the liquids flow out to a drain field. This process prevents pollution of groundwater and keeps your property safe.

What is the average cost of a septic tank?

How long do septic tanks usually last?

With proper maintenance, a septic tank can last for decades, often 20-30 years or more. Regular pumping and avoiding harsh chemicals are crucial. If your tank is approaching the end of its lifespan or showing signs of wear, it's wise to consult a pro about replacement options.

How often do septic tanks need to be emptied?

Most septic tanks in the Milwaukee area need to be pumped every 3 to 5 years. This depends on the size of your tank and your household's water usage. Frequent use by a larger family means more frequent pumping. Ignoring this can lead to system failure.

How much does it cost to have a septic tank pumped?

How often should a septic tank be pumped?

For homes in and around Milwaukee, pumping your septic tank every 3-5 years is a good rule of thumb. This frequency can change based on tank size and how many people live in your home. Overlooking regular pumping is a common cause of septic system problems. Call for advice tailored to your needs.
