Let Our Professionals Pump Your Septic Tank

Sludge and scum accumulate in your septic tank over time and can cause bad smells and backups at home. Pumping removes sludge and slows down bacterial action in the tank. It also prevents solids from escaping into the drain field and clogging pores. Get your septic tank pumped by the trained staff at Home Town Pumping.

Components of a Conventional Septic System

Your household waste flows into your septic tank via a connecting pipe. The tank separates the solid and liquid wastes. The wastewater then flows from the tank through the distribution box to the leaching area.


If you haven't had any problems with your tank so far, it's a good idea to get an inspection done. You don't want to wait till the sludge gets too thick. This will prevent your sewer from settling properly.


The higher the level of sludge, the more solid waste can get into the soil absorption system. This is one of the main reasons for backups and wastewater bubbling at the top. Depending on the size of your tank and the amount of waste you run through the system, your tank may require pumping every year.

When Does Your Septic Tank Need Pumping?

  • High water table after a lot of rain

  • Backups when you do laundry, shower, or flush the toilet

  • Sewage smells around your septic system or inside your home
