How Often to Pump?
For most families, septic pumping is required every three to five years. There are a lot of factors that can impact this timeline, including how much wastewater is produced by the home, what all is flushed or put down the drains, and if there is any type of damage to the septic system.
It is a good idea to have the tank pumped in advance of problems developing, as this can save you time and money.
Signs of Problems
There are several signs that may indicate you need septic tank pumping. Often the first sign is slowing down of the drains in the home, including slow flushing toilets and slow draining showers, baths and even dishwashers and washing machines.
It is also possible to see water on the surface of the ground around the septic system, or even unusually lush grass and vegetation growth over and around the septic tank and the drainage field.
Our team of experienced professionals is available to complete septic pumping on your property in the areas in and around Bremerton and Silverdale, WA. We also offer a full septic inspection, giving you the peace of mind of knowing your system is fully operational. If we do note any issues, we can complete septic repairs to restore your septic system and prevent future problems.
Washington State law mandates that all owners of aerobic septic systems maintain a valid maintenance contract in force at all times. Each maintenance contract must be provided by a maintenance company holding a Class II OSSF or Class D license.
We are committed to providing the very best maintenance service available in Kitsap County. Each time we inspect and/or service your aerobic system we attach a door hanger to the front door of your home showing that we have inspected or serviced your system. This door hanger also provides a link to our website where you can review the inspection report.
If you have received a letter from your County warning that they do not have a current aerobic system contract on file, contact us immediately as we can often help you avoid unnecessary daily penalties by placing you under immediate contract.
