HOW OFTEN?

PLAN BEFORE THERE IS A PROBLEM

Pumping frequency depends on tank size, household size, water use, garbage-disposal use, and the amount of solids entering the system. Many households schedule service every few years, but the right timing can vary.

Call us with the size of your household and anything you know about your system. We can help you decide when it makes sense to schedule service.

COMMON QUESTIONS

SEPTIC PUMPING FAQ

How do I know whether my septic tank is full?

Slow drains, odors, wet ground, gurgling plumbing, or a backup can be warning signs. A tank can also need routine pumping before any obvious symptoms appear.

Do I need to uncover the septic lid before you arrive?

Let us know whether the tank and access lid are already located. We can discuss access before the appointment and explain what may be needed.

Can you pump a septic tank during the winter?

Yes, septic pumping can often be performed during cold weather. Snow, frozen ground, access conditions, and tank location can affect the job.

Do you pump commercial septic systems?

Yes. Avalanche Septic provides pumping for residential and commercial customers. Call with your system details so we can schedule the correct equipment and service.
