How often should septic tanks be cleaned using vac trucks?

Clear Tanks, Clear Minds:
Schedule Your Septic Clean

Septic tanks typically need to be pumped every 3 to 5 years, depending on the size of the tank and the household’s usage patterns. Regular vacuuming helps maintain the system’s efficiency and prevents backups.

More FAQs:

Vacuum trucks operate through a powerful system that creates suction to remove materials. By generating a vacuum within the truck’s tank, air is removed, allowing debris, liquids, and sludge to be suctioned through hoses. Some models also utilize pressurized water to break up soil, making them highly effective for hydro excavation. This combination of suction and water pressure enables vacuum trucks to handle a wide range of cleanup and excavation tasks with precision and efficiency.
