COMMONLY ASKED ABOUT SEPTIC TANK
PUMPING:
What can we expect when we have
our septic tank cleaned?
••After setting up an appointment
to have your tank pumped, LaRoche’s will dispatch clean,
friendly technicians to your home.
••Your tank (s) will be located and
the maintenance access will be probed for. Generally it is
within 6-12” of the surface.
••Once the access is found, we will
carefully dig to the access, remove the cover and clean your tank. Cleaning
thru the maintenance access allows us to see into your tank and
check the condition of the tank as well as ensure all waste is
removed. While a tank and be pumped thru the 4” PVC
pipe often seen above tanks, the technicians is unable to see
into the tank and is not able to move the hose around to reach
all areas of the tank.
••The technician then carefully
fills in the dug area, making it almost impossible to tell the
service was performed.
How long will it take for my septic tank to
become full again?
••Your septic tank is always full,
it is just a matter of what it is more full of. Immediately
after your tank is cleaned, it will take about 4-7 days to fill
the tank to capacity again. It is then full mainly of wastewater
and a few solids. As time progresses, the tank becomes more
full of solids.
••The purpose of pumping your
septic tank is to remove the solids before they flow out to your
soil treatment area and seal it off.
