Thank you for reminding me that waiting too long to clean my tank and pumps can have a negative effect on the entire system. My husband and I don't remember if we had it cleaned when we first moved into this property and we're worried that there are some problems that we might not just be aware of. It might be better to just hire professionals who can check and see if it needs to be cleaned or pumped out immediately.

In reply to Callum Palmer. Great idea! Problems with septic systems to tend to compound, so prevention is definitely the most cost effective choice!

My septic system is in need of some work. I'll do as you said and get someone to come and take a look at it. If I wait, the problem will probably get much worse.

In reply to Thomas Peterson. The damage is already done pumping it doesn’t damage it everything is already damaged if anything it will help it. Sorry about that!

I thought it was interesting that you said people who haven't cleaned out their septic tank in 20 years and claim it will work fine will most often have issues that can't be fixed in the long run. I recently just bought a house and I don't think that they really did anything with the septic tank. I'd love to have septic tank cleaning services come and make sure it's not at risk of any damages.

It's good to know that you should get your septic tank pumped regularly if you used your system on a daily basis. My wife and I go out of town a lot, but we're still home most of the time. We'll be sure to get our system pumped since we aren't gone enough to justify not pumping it.

I like how you mentioned that waiting to get your septic ump fixed will cost you in the long run. My husband and I just moved into a house with a septic pump that doesn't work properly. I will definitely keep your tips in mind when fixing my septic pump.

I didn't know the details of a septic tank cleaning. I didn't realize how important it is to do it often so you avoid build up. I think that I should call someone to check mine out asap considering I don't remember the last time I had mine clean.

In reply to Bethany Birchridge. If you have two lights on the system one amber and one red the amber is for the aerator and the red is for the pump in 99 percent of cases. If you only have one light it is either the pump or the aerator. It could be to many chemical are going down the sink that will kill the bacteria very fast bleach, pine o pine, mop water are all bad things to put down the drain this will make the system smell because the bacteria have been killed and the system is not working properly. The red light could be one because the sprinkler pump is not working or a float switch is faulty as well. If the float is faulty the light will be on but nothing is wrong with the system if everything looks normal then it’s a float or relay that is bad. The airline to the tank or in the tank could be separated as well if you open the aeration tank and cant hear air bubbles then the line is broke or separated somewhere and needs to be fixed. To find a good pumper you just need to call around you need to tell them you want the pump pulled and cleaned and no sludge left in the tank if they cant do that then move on. Be there when they do it so you know they did a good job they should take a water hose and clean each compartment of the system so it’s clean. Without knowing what area you are in I cant recommend anyone though. Hope this helps!
