Top 3 Signs You Should Clean Your Septic Tank Right Now
Spoiler: most of the time there are no clear signs your septic tank requires maintenance. You’ll typically see the signs below when your tank is overdue for maintenance. They include:
- Surfacing liquids over the top of the tank or over the drainfield area.
- Backup/overflow out of a cleanout (PVC pipe between the house and the tank).*
- Backup in the house.*
We and the TCEQ recommend pumping on the following schedules in order to avoid messy, expensive issues.
Still not sure if your tank needs to be cleaned? If it’s been 3-5 years since your last maintenance, now is usually the time. At a minimum, we advise getting it checked to make sure everything is running as it should. We are happy to help!
