How Septic Systems Work
Septic systems are designed to treat and dispose of household wastewater. They consist of two main parts: a tank that holds the wastewater generated by your home, and a drain field that filters the effluent into the soil. Over time, solid waste accumulates at the bottom of the tank, making it necessary to remove it to ensure optimal performance and prevent system failure.​
Why Regular Pumping Is Necessary
As wastewater enters your tank, organic solid material, also called sludge, begins to accumulate. If not removed, accumulated waste can lead to a wide range of issues. These include foul odours, slow drains, sewage backups, property damage, system failure and even environmental contamination. It is also important to remember that local bylaws and regulations also require you to empty your septic tank periodically. Ideally, you should pump your system at least once every two years.​
