Septic Tank Pumping

Septic Pumping

Regular septic tank pumping is the single most important maintenance task for any homeowner on a septic system. Over time, solids build up; if they aren't removed, they can clog your drain field and lead to expensive backups. At Patriot, we recommend pumping your tank every 3 to 5 years to keep your system flowing smoothly and protect your property value.


Signs your Septic Tank may need to be pumped:

  • Slow Drains and Toilets

  • Foul Odors

  • Standing Water

  • Gurgling Sounds

  • Sewage Backup
