Why Septic Pumping Matters
Your septic system works hard every day, quietly managing everything that goes down your drains. Over time, solids build up in the tank, and if they aren’t removed, they can clog your system, back up into your home, or damage your drain field.
Routine pumping is the simplest and most effective way to:
- Prevent costly repairs — replacing a failed system can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
- Avoid messy backups — protect your home from sewage overflows and foul odors.
- Extend the life of your septic system — keep everything working efficiently year after year.
- Protect your property value — a well-maintained septic system is a selling point for any home.
Most Oklahoma homeowners need septic pumping every 3 to 5 years, but aerobic systems may require more frequent service. Our team can inspect your system and recommend the right schedule for your household.

Septic Pumping FAQ's
Why does your septic tank get full?
Despite popular belief, septic tanks need pumped regularly. Using RidX or another additive like yeast will not take the place of regular maintenance. Septic pumping is the best way to clean solids from your tank.
Over time, solid waste accumulates in your septic tank, leading to potential clogs, backups, and even system failures. Regular maintenance is crucial to avoid costly repairs and health hazards caused by harmful bacteria and viruses infiltrating your groundwater.
Why do you need to pump your septic tank?
How often should you clean your septic tank?
A conventional septic tank with a 1000 gallon tank should be pumped every 3-5 years.
An aerobic septic system with a 300-500 gallon trash tank should be pumped every 1-3 years.
The recommended pumping frequency can be found in the chart below.
Keeping your septic system in top condition is crucial, and regular septic pumping plays a key role in its maintenance. Neglecting this aspect often leads to system failures. When solid waste accumulates at the tank’s bottom as sludge and isn’t removed, it gradually clogs the pipes connected to the drain field or pump tank.
This buildup can be problematic as the dense waste particles block proper absorption in the drain field, causing backups or failure in your septic system. In aerobic systems, these solids can even lead to premature malfunctioning of pumps and sprayers, emitting unpleasant odors.
Determining the best pumping frequency varies based on individual circumstances. Generally, it’s advisable to pump every one to five years. Several factors can influence the frequency of your required pumping services:
- Tank size
- Number of home occupants
- Items flushed down the toilet
- Items put down the drains
- Medications
- Excessive use of household cleaners
- High water usage
You can extend the time between cleanouts by being careful what you put in your system. Avoid anything that won’t degrade.
You should also be careful that your water softener does not backflush into the system. This can change the water density and cause many problems.
