Your septic tank can accommodate a significant amount of waste, but eventually, it will need to be pumped. A full or inadequately-maintained septic tank will release dangerous bacteria, phosphorus, and nitrogen into your groundwater, which can harm your family, pets, and even your garden. And that’s not even addressing what will happen if your septic tank fails completely.
In order to keep your home and yard as clean and hygienic as possible, call Eastern Septic & Inspection for all your septic tank pumping needs. We also provide effluent tee and filter cleaning; drainage line vacuuming; and re-plumbing your pump system.

Our Septic Tank Pumping and Cleaning Services
In addition to pumping your septic tank, we will also:
- Cleaning, install, and replace your effluent tees and filters, which trap small particles entering your drainage lines
- Vacuum your main drainage line so it does not become clogged
- Re-plumb your pump system, if necessary (your pump system may become brittle and crack due to cold weather, gases, and age)
We do not “pump and run”! We are committed to performing a thorough job and helping you understand how to help your septic system run as well as possible for years to come.
How Often Should I Pump My Septic Tank?
This will depend greatly on the size of the household or community using the septic tank. In general, septic professionals recommend having your tank pumped every 3 to 5 years to ensure optimal performance. Alternative systems with electrical float switches, pumps or mechanical components need to be inspected once per year. Your service technician can help you understand how often to pump your tank. Another good way to find out is to ask your neighbors with similar-sized families how often they schedule their service.
My Septic Tank Manufacturer Claims It Never Needs to be Pumped. Is This True?
Some makers of septic tank additives claim that their products break down waste so the tanks never need to be pumped. However, the effectiveness of these additives is questionable. In fact, septic tanks already contain microbes which break down waste, yet these tanks still need to be pumped. Even if your septic tank promises not to require cleaning, we recommend scheduling a septic tank inspection—otherwise, the consequences could be catastrophic!
