FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS DESLUDGING?
Desludging is the process of removing both the scum and the sludge layers from your primary septic tank, primarily with a vacuum truck that comes along to essentially pump the waste out through the access lid. We are expertly trained to clean septic tanks also known as desludging.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CLEAN MY SEPTIC TANK?
The average household septic system should be inspected at least every three years by a septic service professional.
Signs that your tank may need cleaning/emptying include:
- Slow drainage in household sinks and toilets
- Pooling water over the tank from overflow
- Bad smells coming from your yard
- Gurgling water sounds coming from pipes
- Sewage backup
Is your tank exhibiting any of these signs? Have you had a tank for 3-5 years that hasn’t been cleaned?
