Washington Septic Pumping Service Offers Septic Maintenance Services For Locals

By Lilia Slaybaugh


If you live in King County Washington you could have one of several different home sewage systems. This usually depends on when the home was built. No matter what type of system you own, it is important to perform routine maintenance and your Washington septic tank pumping service knows and understands your needs.

Many older houses in the King County area have smaller systems that hold from 750 all the way to 950 gallons. These systems can be found in homes that were construction previous to the 1980s, and they need to be pumped out at three year intervals. This keeps the system free of excess scum and sludge.

Many houses in the area are equipped with tanks that contain two separate compartments. These tanks should have maintenance every five years, but three year intervals are recommended. The larger the household the more frequent maintenance should be performed, especially if you have a dishwasher, as soap can be harmful to beneficial bacteria. Regular dual system maintenance should include filters also.

Many homes have pump tanks and they must be properly maintained. These systems need to be pumped at least every other time (that main tanks are pumped). Also, the pump needs to be inspected for signs of wear and tear, to avoid drain problems in the future.

With some houses, it is almost impossible to tell what kind of waste treating system you have. However, you can call a professional and he can tell you everything you need to know. Tanks must be pumped out regularly or sludge and scum could get into your drain pipes, causing a host of trouble.

An improperly maintained sewage system can cause home drains to run slow and completely stop. This can cause raw sewage to back up into bathrooms and kitchens and can be hazardous to your health. The easiest way to maintain your system is to contact a professional service. They are there to locate tanks and lids, and they provide pumping service and repairs.
