What is septic pumping and when do I need it?
A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. Town 'n' Country Porta Pros handles septic pumping service for homes and small businesses. A grease interceptor is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Watch for slow drains, wet spots in the yard or odors. Call for emergency septic service if you spot warning signs.
