We have customers who take it to the extreme and don’t flush any toilet paper. That’s fine too, and they may be able extend their pumping times by one to two years, but this isn’t necessary either.

There is not just one answer to the question. It will depend on your family’s size, toilet paper usage, tank size and other factors such as your family’s other wastewater habits.

If you are unsure if it is time to have your tank pumped, give us a call. Phone estimates are free. Upon arriving at your house we will determine if your tank needs cleaning – if it does, we will happily provide that service – if it does not, you only pay the service call. However, if your tank has not been pumped in the last 3-5 years, chances are it is time have it maintenanced.
