The Importance of Routine Septic Maintenance
Georgia health officials recommend pumping your septic tank every 3 to 5 years, but this isn't just a suggestion - it's essential maintenance that prevents thousands of dollars in emergency repairs. When solids and sludge build up in your tank, they can overflow into your drain field, causing permanent damage that requires complete system replacement.
At RooterPLUS!, we've been pumping septic tanks throughout Atlanta for nearly 30 years. We've seen what happens when homeowners skip this critical maintenance, and we've helped thousands avoid costly disasters with regular, professional pumping services.
How Often Should You Pump?
1-2 People: Every 4-5 Years
3-4 People: Every 3-4 Years
5+ People: Every 2-3 Years
Note: Heavy water usage, garbage disposals, and certain medications can require more frequent pumping.
Our Professional Septic Tank Pumping Process
Every septic tank pumping service from RooterPLUS! includes a thorough process designed to completely clean your tank and identify potential issues before they become expensive problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does septic tank pumping take?
Most residential septic tank pumping services take 1-2 hours, depending on tank size, access, and any additional services needed. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day.
My tank was just pumped but it's full again - what's wrong?
This is completely normal! Septic tanks are designed to stay full of liquid. We remove the solid waste and sludge buildup, but the tank refills with water as your family uses the system normally.
Can you find my septic tank if I don't know where it is?
Yes! Our experienced technicians are experts at locating buried septic tanks. We use property records, visual cues, and probing techniques to find your tank without damaging your landscaping.
What happens to the waste after pumping?
All waste is transported to licensed treatment facilities where it's processed according to environmental regulations. We never dump waste inappropriately and provide proper documentation.
Do I need to be home during the pumping service?
Not necessarily, as long as we can access your septic tank and you've provided any special instructions. Many customers prefer to be present for the inspection report and recommendations.
