There are several services that need to be done regularly in order to properly maintain a septic system. One of those is septic tank cleaning. What is septic tank cleaning? Many people might think it the same as septic pumping, and while there are similarities, the two services are not the same thing. The greatest difference between the two services has to do with what is removed from the tank.
In the case of septic pumping, floating solids are removed from the tank in order to restore the biome of your tank and allow solids to be processed quickly and avoid backflow. This should be done every three to five years.
In the case of septic tank cleaning, all liquid and sludge are removed. It is a more involved process, and it allows your system to be reset. Septic cleaning is most often needed when a problem has occurred, such as backflow, drain field problems, or compacted solids settling at the bottom of your septic tank.
