Expert Septic Tank Services in Brockton, MA

To avoid problems, we recommend pumping the septic tank every one to three years to remove the solids and sludge from your tank. Sludge will accumulate until it eventually overflows into distribution box, then into the soil absorption area (leach field). In addition, during septic maintenance, the technician will do a viewing of the tank with a mirror to be sure all the components are intact.

If you have septic tank problems after pumping, they are problems that have already begun. In other words, it is only a matter of time before there are problems with a septic tank that is never pumped. Solids and sludge will accumulate, eventually harming your septic system. If there is no more room in the tank and the solids have no where to go, they will start accumulating in the main line to the house, eventually causing a blockage and/or a backup. If the sludge is not removed, it will accumulate in the tank and overflow into the soil absorption area, harming the system.

It is strongly recommended that you know where you septic system is before doing any additions to your home. Covers of septic tanks that are covered by a deck make it difficult for the septic pumper to do a thorough job.
