All septic systems will eventually clog and fail. By pumping the sludge (solids) from your septic tank periodically you will increase the life of your leaching field. The proper maintence of a septic system can save the homeowner cosiderable problems and expenses in the future.

Remember your septic system must be pumped on a regular basis (every one or two years) to ensure a long and trouble-free life. Cost for repairing a clogged system can cost you, the homeowner, thousands of dollars. Preventative maintenace on a regular basis is less expensive than a repair or a replacement of a system.

Biological activity in the tank is not upset by pumping; incoming sewage contains all the necessary bacteria to decompose biodegradable solids.
