SEPTIC TANK PUMPING & CLEANING IN THE GREATER HOUSTON AREA
Pumping Frequency: Every 12-24 months (Recommended)
Typical Cost = $0.45/Gallon
The sludge (solid waste) at the bottom of the tank determines when the tank is pumped. A licensed Maintenance Technician uses a sludge judge (long plastic pipe) to accurately measure the sludge level in the tank. If you open your Septic Tank lid & see a high liquid level, this does not mean it needs to be pumped, this is normal.
In a typical 3 tank Aerobic Septic System…
The 1st tank is the Trash Tank which holds the solid waste.
The 2nd tank is the Aeration Tank which cleans the liquid effluent up to codes & standards.
The 3rd tank is the Pump Tank. It is recommended to pump out & clean your system when we measure 8″-10″ of sludge.
