Professional Septic Tank Pumping
Keep your septic system clean with regular tank pumping by Greer Septic Service. Many septic owners believe that if they don’t experience issues with their system, they don’t need to pump their tanks. However, this can be a serious or costly misconception. As your system is used, solid materials settle to the bottom of the tank, forming a sludge layer, while grease and lightweight materials float to the surface of the septic tank as scum.
A properly designed tank has enough space to hold three to five years of materials, but when the sludge level increases beyond this point, sewage has less time to settle properly before leaving the tank. As the sludge level increases, solid waste may escape into the soil absorption system. If the soil absorption system becomes clogged, it will not be able to filter water and can cause a backup.

Reasons for Pumping Septic Tanks
Sewage Backups
Septic tank pumping should be completed when you notice unusually high levels of sewage in your system. If you need any sort of inspection, a freshly pumped tank will be easier to examine and maintain. Neglected septic tanks may backup because the distribution lines and/or drain field has clogged with sludge. The solution ends up being a major repair or expensive replacement rather than simply pumping.
Septic Effluent on the Lawn
Strong septic odors or effluent puddles on the lawn in the drain field area are good indicators of septic tank problems. This will motivate people to pump and clean their septic tank, but pumping the tank now is a very temporary solution. Effluent on the lawn indicates that a major repair or replacement is necessary.
Sale of the House - Septic Tank Inspections
Many times, a realtor will recommend that the septic tank be pumped prior to the sale of a home. It’s a good idea to do this in conjunction with the septic inspection survey that’s required with a real estate closing.
