FAQs

Septic tank pumping involves removing the sludge and scum from your septic tank to prevent clogging and backups in your system. It is generally recommended to have your septic tank pumped every 3 to 5 years, depending on the size of your tank and the number of people in your household. You should get your septic tank inspected every 1-3 years to catch any potential issues and help determine how often you need pumping.

Common signs that indicate a need for septic tank service include unpleasant odors around drains or the septic area, slow-draining toilets or sinks, water pooling in the yard near the system, and unusually lush vegetation over the drain field—often an early indication that excavation contractors may be needed to address an underground issue. If you notice any of these problems, contact Greer Septic Service for a prompt inspection or pumping to prevent further damage.

Septic tank pumping requires specialized equipment and a clear understanding of proper disposal methods for the waste. Because the process can reveal hidden issues underground that may require the help of excavation contractors, it’s highly recommended to hire a professional septic tank service company to manage the job. Our team ensures that all work is completed safely, effectively, and in compliance with local regulations.

Regular maintenance can help your septic system operate effectively for as long as possible. Best practices include conserving water to reduce the load on the system, avoiding flushing non-biodegradable items, and keeping heavy vehicles away from the drain field to prevent damage that could require excavation contractors later. Scheduling regular professional septic tank inspections and pumping keeps your system running efficiently and helps detect potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs.

Septic tank pumping is critical to keep your septic tank healthy and functional. Over time, solids can accumulate in your tank, which can cause clogs and system failure if left unaddressed—issues that may eventually require excavation contractors if not caught early. Regular pumping service prevents backups, helps waste break down properly, and extends the lifespan of your system.
