LaChance Brothers Excavating Offers Guidelines to Decide if Your Tank is Ready to Be Emptied

NORTHVILLE, Mich. - Aug. 7, 2023 - PRLog -- When was the last time you pumped your septic tank? If you can't remember, then it's been way too long!

With proper maintenance and care, septic tank systems can last for decades. However, if you don't empty your tank or have it pumped regularly, too much sludge will reduce the bacteria's ability to do its job and break down the waste or overflow into your drainage field.

Keep in mind how often your septic tank needs to be emptied by following these guidelines:

1.     Size of your tank – Don't know the size of your tank is? A professional can come out to inspect your tank and let you know the size.

2.     House size and number of family members – Obviously a bigger house needs a bigger septic tank, and a smaller home needs a smaller tank. The number of people who reside in your home is also a contributing factor. More people produce more waste which will affect the frequency at which you need to clean your septic tank.

3.     Consider the total wastewater generated – This includes laundry, dishwashing, and showers. Reducing your water consumption will reduce the chance of clogs and future backups.
