Tank is “overfull”
A septic tank is considered “overfull” when the water level is at the very top of the tank. If the septic system’s absorption field stops accepting the water, it sits in the outflow pipe and backs up, overfilling the tank.
Preventing A Full Septic Tank
No matter how long it’s been since you last pumped your septic tank, it’s “full” to a certain degree. But if it’s been 3-5 years since you last had it pumped, it’s probably time to do so.
Don’t wait until you have a problem to pump out your tank — by then, it’s usually too late to solve anything. Waiting too long between pumpings allows the sludge to continue accumulating, and can cause damage to your drainfield.
