How often should I get my septic tank cleaned in Palm Bay?

Several signs indicate your septic tank needs cleaning. You might notice slow drains throughout your house, or gurgling sounds in your plumbing.

What is the purpose of a septic tank?
The purpose of a septic tank is to treat wastewater from your home. It's an underground system that separates solids from liquids. Solids settle to the bottom as sludge, and lighter materials float to the top as scum. The liquid wastewater then flows to a drain field for further treatment in the soil. This process prevents sewage from contaminating groundwater. It's a vital part of your home's sanitation.
