If you have a septic tank, then you probably know that you need to get your system pumped out every 3-5 years. The exact timing will depend on the size of your tank and the number of people living in your home. Whenever it’s time, we’ll get your septic tank pumped out so it can continue working well for you for a long, long time.
How Does a Septic System Work?
Septic systems are usually found in areas where city sewer system access is unavailable. These homes may be older or in rural areas. The sewer pipes carry waste away from the home and into a septic tank, where natural and chemical processes break down waste, separate solid from liquid waste, and allow the liquid to leach out into a drainfield.
The solid waste generally remains in the septic tank, gradually filling the tank. If the tank gets too full, it becomes hard for the entire system to do its job well. This is when you need septic tank pumping to remove that waste. As long as you pump the tank out regularly, it should last for many, many years.

Rowell’s recommends getting your septic tank pumped at least every 3 years, and more often if you use a lot of water or have an older system! Depending on how many people are in your home and the amount of water you use, you should get your tank pumped more frequently!
Why does my tank need to be pumped?
If your tank is not pumped regularly, the sludge levels become extremely thick which allows the solids to enter into the leach field area. This could cause your septic system to fail prematurely.
What are some warning signs that I need to have my tank pumped?
Some warning signs that you need your tank pumped are slow-draining toilets or drains, gurgling sounds or seepage from your plumbing, and wet, soggy spots in your septic system area.
