Why Schedule a Septic Tank Cleaning?


Septic tanks are designed to hold the solid and liquid waste from your various toilets, sinks, and other drains in your home. This waste travels through your plumbing into your septic tank, which is typically constructed out of fiberglass, concrete, or plastic.


A septic system works by separating the solid and liquid waste during the process of decomposition in which the solid waste turns into "sludge". The decomposition occurs in the septic tank which is usually buried underground somewhere in your yard and near your house. Once separated, the liquid waste rises to the top then flows out to a leach or drain field. 


The solid waste matter "sludge" will settle at the bottom of the septic tank and remain there until a maintenance cleaning takes place and the sludge is pumped out. If your septic system is not properly maintained, it will eventually become clogged from sludge and scum over time.  This can have many "crappy" effects such as bad smells, sewage backup, slow flushing, and seeping of wastewater into the surrounding area.


It's best to use a professional and trusted septic company like Hickory Septic Service rather than trying to do it yourself because you could possibly damage your septic system.

Ask The Expert:

How often should a septic tank be pumped out?

Having your septic tank pumped out is necessary for maintaining a sanitary system. This must be done every 2 to 5 years, but the frequency varies between different households and the number of residents and bedrooms. Obviously more people in your house will mean more waste in your septic system. So how do you know when to schedule your septic tank cleaning? As a rule of thumb, if the tank is more than half full, or if the scum layer is just 6 inches from the outlet pipe, your septic tank must be pumped as suggested by the EPA.  You can check the level by removing the manhole cover and looking down into the tank. If you see scum floating on the surface, it means that the tank is full and needs to be pumped out.


Please don't wait too long to schedule your septic system cleaning! If you do, your septic tank can become completely clogged up and start to cause many other issues. It can start backing up into the drains and sinks in your home. This is both a health hazard and damaging to the system. Fortunately septic tank pumping is not that expensive so having it cleaned at least every couple of years will you save lots money on repairs or possibly needing a completely new septic tank installation and replacement later on down the road.

How Do I know if my Septic Tank is Full?


Here the Top 5 Signs You need a Septic Tank Cleaning today!


The Pipes ain’t drainin…

Are your pipes not draining, or draining slowly? If so, it could be because of a septic tank backup or your tank is completely full. When a septic system backup happens, the wastewater from your home flows back into the pipes and possibly up through the lowest drain point in your home. This can lead to serious problems like water damage and mold growth. If you’re noticing that your pipes are draining slowly, it's time to schedule a septic tank pumping to clear out the backup and get your pipes flowing normally again.


That's not chocolate on the floor…

Sewage backups are one of the nastiest things a homeowner may ever have to deal with and they are a tell tale sign your tank is full and you need to schedule a septic pumping immediately. They can result in many problems, including the spread of harmful pathogens and damage to your home by causing water damage to walls, flooring and furniture. 


The Sound of Gurgling water

Can you hear gurgling or bubbling water around your septic tank or in your pipes? While it may just be a matter of re-adjusting your baffles or that sediment has been stirred up, call Hickory Septic Tank Pumping today to have your system checked out anyways, as this is also a sign of an overfilled system.  If your tank has been filled to capacity, you may hear gurgling water coming from the leach bed as wastewater begins to back up and fill the tank again. You may also notice a rise in levels of sewage odors as well as an increase in mosquito activity around your home.


What's that smell?

Do you notice a bad smell outside, or around your septic tank? This may indicate the presence of sewage in the surrounding area. When this happens, you will need to take action immediately and call our company for your septic pumping before it contaminates other areas. 


The grass certainly does look greener...

Who wouldn't want to have a nice patch of super green grass in their yard? Well, if it’s right above your septic tank, then probably not you because this is a common indication that you need a septic tank cleaning because your tank is full and it's starting to leak out into the surrounding area.
