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 Sacramento

What is the purpose of a septic tank?

A septic tank is a key part of a decentralized wastewater system. It receives all the wastewater from your home and separates solids from liquids. The solids settle as sludge at the bottom, while the liquid effluent flows to a drain field for further treatment. This prevents pollution of soil and water.

What is the average cost of a septic tank?

How long do septic tanks usually last?

A well-maintained septic tank system can last for 20 to 30 years, and sometimes even longer. Regular pumping and proper care are crucial for longevity. If your system is nearing this age or showing signs of problems, it's advisable to have it inspected by a professional.

How often do septic tanks need to be emptied?

In the Sacramento area, septic tanks typically require pumping every 3 to 5 years. This interval can change based on the tank's size and your household's water usage. Families with higher water consumption will need more frequent pumping. This is essential to prevent system failures.

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

How often should a septic tank be pumped?
