Septic Pumping Services
Regular septic tank pumping is essential for maintaining a healthy septic system. Elite Plumbing provides professional septic pumping services for residential and commercial properties throughout Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, ensuring your system operates efficiently and preventing costly failures.
Why Regular Septic Pumping Matters
Over time, solid waste accumulates in your septic tank. Without regular pumping, this buildup can:
- Cause system backups into your home or business
- Lead to drain field failure
- Result in sewage surfacing in your yard
- Create unpleasant odors
- Require expensive emergency repairs or replacement
- Contaminate groundwater
How Often Should You Pump?
Most residential septic tanks should be pumped every 3-5 years, but frequency depends on several factors:
- Tank size
- Number of occupants in the home
- Amount of wastewater generated
- Type and amount of solids entering the system
- Use of garbage disposal
Commercial systems may require more frequent pumping depending on usage levels.
Signs Your Septic Tank Needs Pumping
- • Slow draining sinks, tubs, or toilets
- • Gurgling sounds in plumbing
- • Sewage backing up into drains
- • Foul odors near the septic tank or drain field
- • Standing water or soggy ground near the tank
- • Lush, green grass over the drain field (from excess nutrients)
- • It's been 3+ years since last pumping
