Frequently asked in Gilbert

What is the purpose of a septic tank?

A septic tank acts as a mini wastewater treatment system for homes not connected to a city sewer. It holds and separates solids from liquids in your wastewater. The solids settle to the bottom, and the liquids flow out to a drain field for further treatment in the soil. This process prevents solids from clogging your drain field and causing backups.

How often do septic tanks need to be emptied?

In Gilbert, the frequency of septic tank pumping depends on household size and water usage. Generally, a tank should be pumped every 3 to 5 years. For larger families or those with significant water use, more frequent pumping might be necessary. Regular pumping prevents solids from building up and damaging the system.

How much does it cost to have a septic tank pumped?

How long do septic tanks usually last?

With proper maintenance, septic tanks can last for many decades, often 20 to 30 years or even longer. Regular pumping and avoiding harsh chemicals in your drains are crucial. If you're experiencing issues, it’s important to have the system inspected by professionals. This helps ensure its longevity in the Arizona heat.

What is the average cost of a septic tank?

How often should a septic tank be pumped?

For most households, pumping your septic tank every 3 to 5 years is a good rule of thumb. However, this can change depending on the size of your tank and the number of people using the system. Conserving water and avoiding flushing non-biodegradable items can also extend the time between pumpings.
