WHY IS A SEPTIC TANK PUMP CARD NECESSARY?
The septic tank/s are an integral part of the septic system. The only time the tank can be properly inspected is when it is empty; therefore, the pumper does this. A lot of information is available with regard to the tank when it is empty only. Information such as: size of tank; is the tank in good condition, structurally; is the outlet baffle in place; was there flow back from the drainfield; and is the lid cracked or in need of replacement? A leaking septic tank can send thousands of gallons of water to the drainfield, and cause premature failure of a system. Since we are not onsite when the tanks are pumped, the pumpers fill out this card and submit the above information.
