Routine Septic Pumping
The average household septic tank should be inspected at least every three years to check for leaks and to examine the scum and sludge layers. Generally, residential septic tanks need to be pumped every three to five years. Routine pumping helps to get rid of the solid waste deposits that form on the bottom of your tank, which can put stress on your entire septic system.
Problematic Situations
There are several signs that indicate that your septic tank needs to be pumped. As your tank fills up, odor-causing gases have nowhere to escape but out of your drainage. If you notice a bad odor coming from your drains, toilet, or the drain-field area outside of your home, it may be time to call for pumping. Without question, any standing water or sewage backup is a sure sign of an issue.
Restaurant Grease Trap Services
Grease trap cleaning and pumping is necessary to prevent problems from developing down the line. Too much buildup in your grease trap can cause clogs that could back up into your building. In many cases, restaurants are legally required to clean out their grease trap every 30 days, and Mountain Top Portable Toilets and Septic Service is here to ensure your systems stay maintained. Enlist our services to help you prevent unwanted odors, avoid fines, and keep everyone happy by providing a healthy environment!

Dry Well Pumping Services
Lint, solids, soap, and scum can build up over time inside a dry well and clog the opening of the walls and the pores of the surrounding soil. This buildup prevents water from filtering out of the well at an adequate rate, causing water to back up. This can become a huge issue, as standing water can cause mold, fungus, and lawn disease. Standing water also attracts insects, specifically mosquitoes that could potentially carry disease.

Most homeowners need to have their septic systems pumped and inspected every three to five years. Smaller septic systems may need attention every year. Following a proper routine for your system can help to extend its life and ensure there are no issues that could have catastrophic results.

In fact, it can be very beneficial to regularly service your system! Problems caught early on can avoid sewage backups and leakage. Your drains will be able to flow freely, without having to worry about a blockage causing backup in your yard.

The Importance of Septic Tank Maintenance
So, why don’t more folks attempt to maintain the tanks and pipes which run beneath their property? Aside from the fact that septic systems are widely regarded to be “icky,” they are also hidden from plain sight, which makes them easy to forget about – as long as everything is working smoothly. Because of this, many home owners allow their systems to fall into a state of disrepair. Unfortunately, once your septic system starts to malfunction, it can negatively affect public health, property values and the environment.
Damaged Septic Systems are Costly!
On a financial level, a damaged or irreparable septic system can take a terrible toll on your bank account. Going back to the automobile analogy, car owners are advised to schedule oil changes to preserve the life of their engine. We take minor steps every so often to avoid automotive catastrophe down the road. This same principle should always be applied to your septic system. By contacting the right company to perform general upkeep, you may be able to circumvent far costlier repairs down the line.
A Properly Maintained Septic System Helps Your Property Values
In the long run, a properly maintained septic system will also add to a home’s overall value. As you may have guessed, property values will decline in neighborhoods where septic problems are more prone to occur. When you get down to it, something as simple as routine tank pumping can ultimately yield great returns!
