When your home is not connected to the main sewer treatment system, you have to rely on a septic tank to manage your home's wastewater. Modern homes use septic tanks that are designed to operate seamlessly without your involvement for at least 3 years. To keep your home safe from contaminated wastewater, however, the septic tank must undergo a professional assessment at least once annually.
Before you have your septic tank pumped, it is imperative to ascertain that you need the services to avoid spending money on services you don't need. To begin with, you need to know that a septic tank will be full or require pumping based on how it is being used. As a result, regular assessments are important because they reveal when your septic tank or drainage system needs repairs.
Signs of a full septic tank
Knowing when your septic tank needs pumping is easy. For instance, it is hard to ignore the odor that accompanies a full septic tank or a clogged drainage system. Other signs include vegetation that is greener and healthier on your drainfield as compared to the rest of the yard, dampness on the drainfield, excessively slow flushing or draining of your toilet, and backed up sewage.
Pumping out the septic tank ensures that it remains effective at managing your home's wastewater. This is because the sole function of a septic tank is to remove solid waste and scum from the wastewater and to ensure that the only water that is absorbed into the soil is the one that is nitrogen-rich and containing phosphorous. The tank filters all the solid waste and grease from the wastewater and retains it as a sludge and scum. Although the sludge undergoes decomposition thanks to the bacteria in the septic tank, the decomposition is not enough to clear the entire waste. As a result, the tank must be pumped to prevent waste build up.
Regular septic tank pumping ensures that you never have to deal with the consequences of a full septic tank. A full septic tank is bad news for any homeowner. This is because once the sludge builds up inside your septic tank, it might cause problems that are often very expensive to fix. For instance, the build-up could affect your home's drainage causing clogged sinks and sending nasty odors in your home. When drainage problems persist, you might even have to deal with raw sewer on your floors, something that might cost you dearly to clean.

I give 5 stars because the order (complete replacement of our septic tank) was processed without problems or delays. Costs were kept, short-term and punctual appointments and very competent and polite staff. All in all, not self-evident nowadays.

Good performance at a good price. This is also due to the fact that, in contrast to competitors, they only arrive with one person if this is sufficient. We have become aware of Pro Plumbers by chance.

Exceptional service! After asking for emergency help well after midnight, their plumber arrived within only 45 minutes. Despite the late hour, he was very friendly and fixed the problem in no time. The invoice almost exactly matched the estimate I received before. 5/5!
