What Exactly is a Septic Tank Cleaning?

Gene’s Septic Tank Cleaning & Services involves the use of a vacuum tank truck. A member of our team will then stretch the hose from the truck and will clean the contents within the tank out. This process depending on the size will take about an hour. We can also inspect the septic tank level, baffles, and sump pumps. We can even clean the aerator shaft!

Having your septic tank cleaned on a regular basis is essential for maintaining your septic system. It is recommended that you have your septic system cleaned once to three times a year depending on how many people are in your household and the size of your septic tank. It is key for optimal performance and usually takes less than an hour to be properly cleaned.

6 Signs You Need to Pump your Septic Tank

Slow Draining/Flushing

If your shower drains or toilet is draining and flushing slowly it’s a clear sign that you may need your septic tank pumped.

Green Grass over Drain field

If the grass over your drain field is bright and significantly lush compared to the rest of your yard, that is another clear indicator that you need your septic tank flushed.

Standing Water

If your septic tank is full it will start to leak, and cause overflow water can start to pool anywhere on your property.

High Nitrate Content in Well Water

This is specific for those who rely on well water. It’s important that your water gets tested at least one a year to make sure that the water levels are safe and healthy.

Sewage Backup

Another clear sign is when you experience sewage backups. It is unpleasant and requires immediate help.
