How often does my septic tank need emptying

The frequency of septic tank emptying depends on several factors, including the size of your tank, the number of people in your household, and your usage habits. On average, most septic tanks should be emptied every 3 to 5 years. However, if you have a larger household or use a lot of water, you may need more frequent emptying. Regular inspections are essential to ensure your septic system is functioning properly and to prevent costly repairs. Our team can help assess your needs and recommend the ideal maintenance schedule for your septic tank to keep it running smoothly.

Signs your outside drain is blocked

A blocked outside drain can cause significant problems if left untreated. Look out for the following signs, which may indicate an issue with your drainage system:

  • Slow draining water: Water from sinks, showers, or appliances is draining much slower than usual.
  • Unpleasant odors: A foul smell near your drains or around your property.
  • Pooling water: Puddles or standing water around external drains or in your yard.
  • Overflowing gullies or grates: Water spilling out of drain covers instead of flowing through.
  • Unusual sounds: Gurgling noises from your pipes when using sinks, toilets, or appliances.

What to do if you have a septic tank and your toilets are backed up

f your toilets are backing up and you have a septic tank, it’s important to act quickly to prevent further damage. First, stop using water and avoid flushing the toilet to prevent additional wastewater from entering the tank or pipes. Check for any obvious signs of an issue, such as pooling water around the septic tank or strong odors. These could indicate that the tank is full or there’s a blockage in the system. Next, contact a professional septic tank service immediately. Our team can assess the situation, determine whether the tank needs emptying or if there’s a blockage in the drainage system, and resolve the issue safely and efficiently. Never attempt to open or inspect the septic tank yourself, as this can be dangerous.
