After the Thanksgiving holiday the amount of emergency septic situations really elevated. We were struggling to get everyone’s need for service under control. Here is an example of a tank that hadn’t been serviced in a long time. Keep this in mind.
It’s always a good idea to get your septic tank pumped before hosting large gatherings like Christmas, especially if it hasn’t been serviced recently. Here’s why:
1. Increased Usage: With more people in your home, your septic system will experience a heavier load from flushing, showering, and dishwashing.
2. Prevent Backups: If your tank is near capacity, additional usage could lead to unpleasant backups or overflows.
3. Avoid Emergencies: Septic issues during a holiday gathering can be stressful and expensive to fix on short notice.
If it’s been 3-5 years since your last pumping (or sooner, depending on your system’s size and household size), it’s wise to schedule it before the holidays.
Give us a call at 931-762-9989 and let us go ahead and get your tank cleaned so that you don’t have a mess on your hands while family is in. This is a time for Joy and laughter. Let your house be full of good smells from the food before you eat it, not the smell of backed up food after you’ve ate it.
