Frequently Asked Questions

Most septic tanks should be pumped every 3-5 years, depending on tank size, household size, and water usage. For Miami-Dade County properties, we recommend pumping every 3 years due to the high water table and frequent heavy rainfall. Regular pumping prevents backups and extends the life of your drainfield.

Common signs include slow-draining sinks and toilets, gurgling sounds in drains, sewage odors in your yard or home, water backing up in toilets or drains, and lush green grass over the drainfield. If you notice any of these signs, schedule a pumping service immediately.
