What Is Septic Tank Cleaning?

Simply put, septic tank cleaning eliminates sludge from a property's system. While this sludge helps break down the solid waste from your property, the limited size of your septic tank means it must eventually be cleared. Failure to do so can cause sewage backups, leaks, clogs, and septic tank system damage. If you haven't gotten your septic tank cleaned in the past two years, we recommend scheduling an appointment with us.

Signs It's Time to Clean Your Septic Tank

Knowing the signs that indicate it's time for septic tank cleaning in Edmonton can save you from costly repairs and health hazards. Look out for these indicators:

 

  • Slow drains: If water drains slowly in your sinks, showers, or toilets, it may signal that your septic tank is full and requires cleaning.
     

  • Unpleasant odours: A foul smell near your septic tank or drain field often indicates that it is overflowing and needs immediate attention.
     

  • Standing water: Pooling water or lush green grass above your septic tank can indicate sewage leaks, signalling a need for urgent cleaning.
     

  • Gurgling sounds: Unusual sounds from your plumbing, such as gurgling or bubbling, may suggest that your septic tank is struggling and requires servicing.

How Often Should You Clean Your Septic Tank?

Septic tank cleaning frequency can vary based on several factors, including house size and water usage. Generally, it is recommended to have your septic tank cleaned every 3 to 5 years. Larger households, or those with high water usage due to frequent laundry, dishwashing, or bathing, may require more frequent cleanings. Additionally, properties with garbage disposals or excessive usage of cleaning chemicals can lead to faster sludge accumulation, warranting more regular maintenance. Monitoring your septic system's performance and seeking professional advice can help determine the right schedule.

Reasons to Routinely Clean Your Septic Tank

Not cleaning your septic tank comes with numerous risks, the chief being the overflowing of sludge into your drain field and inside your property. Not only is this highly unhygienic, but it can wreak havoc on your plumbing system. Routinely cleaning your plumbing system, on the other hand, has numerous benefits, such as:

 

  • Preventing illnesses: Sewage contains illness-causing pathogens that can cause diseases on exposure. Ensuring that your septic tank is routinely cleaned eliminates the risk of this exposure. 

  • Cost-saving: When cleaning your septic tank, we can spot and attend to minor problems that might worsen and force you to spend money on expensive repairs if ignored. 

  • Protection of the environment: Failure to clean your septic tank causes sewage leaks. Sewage can also seep into underground water reserves and contaminate them.

  • Improved efficiency: Overfilled septic tanks do not function effectively. Cleaning them will optimize their functioning and help the bacteria in your septic tank do their job.

Dangers of Neglecting Septic Tank Cleaning

Neglecting regular septic tank cleaning can severely affect your property and health. Some dangers include:

 

  • Health risks: Overflowing tanks can release sewage into the surrounding area, exposing you and your family to harmful pathogens and diseases.

  • System failure: Accumulated sludge can cause your septic system to fail, leading to costly repairs or replacements.

  • Environmental damage: Sewage leaks can contaminate groundwater, impacting drinking water sources and harming local ecosystems.

  • Increased costs: Emergency repairs due to neglect are typically far more expensive than routine maintenance, making regular septic tank cleaning a financially sound decision.
