Busy Bee Septic and Excavating LLC Explains Septic Tank Pumping

Grease trap cleaning removes solid waste and floatable grease that accumulate in your septic tank over time. These materials clog your drain field and create untreated wastewater that can cause costly septic system repairs. Regular septic tank pumping prevents these issues and keeps your septic system working properly.

Most septic systems work full all the time, but there are signs that your septic tank needs to be pumped. Oftentimes, your tubs, toilets, and sinks will drain more slowly when you’re in need of having the tank pumped. Another common sign is a sickly odor that wafts from your drains and drain field. Odors can occur when the septage in your septic tank becomes overfull and the resulting odor-causing gases aren’t allowed to escape through your drain lines or septic tank baffles.

The Step-by-Step Process of Septic Tank Pumping with Busy Bee Septic

During septic tank pumping, a service technician begins by finding and accessing your septic tank’s lid. This may require them to dig a small hole in the ground near the septic tank. Once the lid is exposed, they will connect a large hose to a truck that functions like a giant vacuum cleaner. The hose is then inserted into the septic tank and sucks up the liquids, solid waste, and sludge.

This process takes about a half hour to complete. Once the septic tank is pumped, it will be inspected. This includes checking the tank walls for cracks or deterioration and inspecting the baffles to ensure they are in good condition. A septic tank riser can also be installed during this time to lift the septic tank lid above ground level for easier access for future upkeep and maintenance.
