    Most septic experts recommend an annual inspection to monitor your system's health. This inspection will also determine whether your tank needs pumping. The inspector will measure the height of the sludge and scum layers in your septic tank. If these layers combined take up more than half of your tank, it's time to call in a professional septic pumper!

    If your septic tank was pumped within the last three years, you are probably following a regular septic maintenance schedule. Regular maintenance is one of the steps you as a homeowner can take to ensure the longevity and functionality of your septic system, and pumping is arguably the most important maintenance task

Scheduling a maintenance inspection with a licensed inspector from your town or county will give you a detailed picture of your system's health and enable you to address emerging problems.

    Your maintenance inspection should be accompanied by a pump-out of your tank to remove accumulated sludge and scum that over time will prevent your tank from adequately treating your household's wastewater and can result in drainfield failure.
