My septic tank hasnt been pumped in years. When should I have it done?
A Depending on how many people are using the system will dictate the frequency of such service. Generally, a household of four will require less service than that of a two person household as the system is able to function for efficiently. There are exceptions of course. Female occupants produce more paper waste thus inhibiting the system’s performance. A rule of thumb for good septic results: Nothing goes in the toilet except human waste or something which came from the earth. For example, toilet tissue is a byproduct of trees. Tampons are not. Nor are most feminine hygiene products. Even those which are flushable are NOT suitable for septic systems.
