Get Labor Day Ready: The Benefits of Septic Tank Cleaning with Roto-Rooter

Okay, okay, we know that the first thing on your labor-day to-do list is not pumping out your septic tank. But we’re here to build an argument for bumping this chore up on your list of priorities. According to the UGA (University of Georgia), approximately 25% of American homes have a septic tank system.

If you’re one of these many homeowners, we’ll hopefully be able to persuade you to schedule a tank cleaning session by the end of this article!

Why Septic Tank Pumping this Labor Day?

You’re probably planning something fun this Labor Day, right? So here’s the thing: Do you really want to wait until the grill is sizzling and grandma’s reclining with a Heineken before realizing that your septic tank is overflowing and those puddles of liquid on your lawn are not from little Timmy’s splash pool? No. We didn’t think so either.

Even with an alarm set to alert you of a filling tank, it’s still better to take a proactive approach than have to fix a problem when you were hoping to kick back and relax with the family.

So how do you know if you should consider scheduling a routine check and clean? Here are some clues:

Timing

When was the last time you had the tank pumped and cleaned? If you can’t remember, then it’s probably time. Most manufacturers recommend a clean once every two to three years, depending on your household size and usage. If you’re a fiber-loving household, it might be best not to leave it for too long.

Toilets

Noticed a slow bowl drain? Had a few close overspill calls recently? This might be your system’s way of telling you to pump out the septic tank. Frequent backups are a sign that your system is reaching its limit.

Smells

Unwelcome odors around your home and lawn are a very common signal that all is not right with the septic tank. Don’t ignore it; it’s probably not the neighbors. It’s a cry for help. Act now and call us!
