Septic System Inspections, Cleaning and Pumping

It is common in rural areas to have septic tanks. For an average household, the septic system should be inspected or pumped every three to five years. 

Here are some reasons why it is very important to keep up on the maintenance of your septic tank:

• Because your tank has too much build up
• To improve efficiency
• Problematic issues can be removed

How do you know if it is time to pump your septic system?

• If there is a layer of scum around six inches from the bottom of the outlet
• If there is a layer of sludge within 12 inches of the outlet

If you're not sure if you need septic tank pumping, maintenance or repair, contact us to speak to one of our experts.

At Buckeye Plumbing & Drains, we can provide septic effluent pumps which are good for bathrooms located in a basement, buildings below grade level and other septic challenges.

Besides general cleaning, pumping and disposal of your system, we can also use a vacuum method which is especially effective for commercial buildings such as hospitals, industrial areas, green buildings, structures close to larger bodies of water like marinas, and many more.

The vacuum pumping system is a quicker way to remove sewage for large buildings and structures.
