How Often Should You Pump Your Septic Tank In Covington, OK?

Typically, septic tanks require pumping every three to five years, but the exact frequency depends on the tank's size and the number of users in your household or building. If you're uncertain about how often to pump your septic tank, our team can assist in establishing a suitable pumping schedule for your needs. Additionally, we can supply you with a list of indicators to watch for, when it's time to pump your septic tank, allowing you to monitor and address any issues promptly.

What Happens During Septic Tank Pumping?

The septic tank pumping process is straightforward. Our technician will arrive at your property and determine the optimal access point. We'll then remove the lids from the tank chambers and conduct an initial inspection of the scum layer (the top layer) in your tank. If necessary, we'll agitate the contents to facilitate complete pumping. Once the tank is prepared, we'll connect the required hoses, activate the vacuum pump, and begin the pumping process. Typically, it takes us 20-40 minutes to pump out the contents of a septic tank, although it may take longer if the tank hasn't been serviced in an extended period.

Once the tank has been emptied we'll also inspect the tank for any problems and make sure that everything is in good working order.

After we're finished, we'll let you know an appropriate pumping interval moving forward and we'll be able to answer any questions you may have.

Getting Your Septic Tank Ready To Be Pumped

We'll handle all the messy tasks. However, there are a few steps you can take to help facilitate our work and ensure the pumping process runs seamlessly.

1. Be aware of the location of your septic tank and related components, such as the distribution box, control panel, or drain field. If you're unsure of their positions, we can assist you in identifying them but it can take us additional time.  Please let us know when you call so we can book appropriate time between calls.
2. If your tank doesn't have risers then the lid will need to be dug up. We charge extra if we need to dig up the lid for you so it'll save you money if you have the lid dug up prior to our arrival.   If you'd like to have risers installed, we can help! We just need to know ahead of time so we can bring appropriate equipment and allow the right amount of time.
3. Please move any vehicles, boats, RV's, or trailers if they are blocking easy access to the tank.  We want to get our truck as close as possible to your septic tank without going on your grass or off of the gravel or paved driveway. Our septic truck is heavy, especially when it's fully loaded.  Getting stuck is not fun and we'd like to avoid it!
