Septic System Pumping Services in Milton, FL
Serving Milton, Gulf Breeze, Freeport, Navarre, FL, and All Surrounding Areas
A septic tank is different than a municipal sewer system in that the property owner is responsible for making sure that the tank is pumped regularly so the system keeps working. A septic tank can work reliably for a few years before it needs to be pumped, but a septic tank that isn’t pumped regularly can cause a lot of problems on your property.

How Do You Know It’s Time to Pump?
A septic tank pumping schedule is based on the size of the tank and how many people use it. On average, systems should be pumped once every 3-5 years.
For example, a 1000-gallon tank used by a household of five people will need to be pumped every two years. On the other hand, if you own a snowbird cottage that’s only used by two people for half the year, the tank could probably go three or four years between pumpings.
If you’re not sure about the schedule for your septic tank, there are a few signs you can watch for to know when your septic tank needs to be pumped:
Stinky Smells
If you can smell sewage, your septic tank needs to be pumped.
Squishy Yard
If you’ve noticed standing water or soft spots in your yard, your septic tank may have overflowed.
Slow Drains
If the tank is full, water from the house won’t be able to easily flush away. If you notice these signs or other odd behaviors from your septic tank, contact professionals for septic system pumping right away before the problem gets worse.
