Rooter-Man has been taking care of septic systems for over 40 years.  We are true experts in every aspect from installations to pumping and cleaning.  It is recommended to have your septic tank pumped every 2-3 years.  The two main components of a septic system are the tank and the drain field.  Liquids will flow out of the tank through pipes and into the drain field.  Good bacteria will break down impurities and the water is then naturally filtered through soils.  Solid waste gathers at the bottom of the septic tank and it is necessary to have it pumped out to ensure that your system continues to work properly.

Regular maintenance of your septic system is so important.  It can be easy to forget about your tank, but it is crucial to have it pumped regularly.  If you keep up with maintenance your tank and drain field can last from anywhere between 20-50 years.  Even more importantly it can prevent system failure which can lead to harmful contaminants being released and groundwater from becoming contaminated.  Raw sewage is a serious health risk and not only will it affect your family but can also affect your neighbors.

Signs that can indicate you have a full septic tank:

• Bad odors coming up from the drains
• Slow drains
• Sewage backing up
• Soft soil or water pooling around the tank
• Greener than usual grass around the tank
