Frequently Asked Questions About Lakeside Sewerage Service Inc

How many times a year should I have my tank pumped?

The frequency of septic tank pumping typically ranges from once every 12 to 24 months. However, this can vary based on several factors specific to your situation. We recommend contacting our office to schedule an assessment with one of our experienced technicians who can provide personalized advice for your septic system's maintenance needs.

How does a septic tank work?

A septic tank is an underground wastewater treatment system commonly used in areas without access to municipal sewer systems. The process begins when wastewater from your home enters the tank through a main drainage pipe. Inside the tank, the wastewater separates into three layers: scum (oils and grease) at the top, effluent (liquid) in the middle, and sludge (solids) at the bottom. Bacteria in the tank break down some of the organic matter. The liquid effluent then flows into a drain field where it's filtered by the soil before reaching groundwater. Regular maintenance, including pumping every 3-5 years, is essential to prevent system failure.
