Because all the materials and waste are moving through your pipes into the septic tank, it is important to get it regularly cleaned to avoid clogged pipes, burst pipes, and foul smells. You should arrange for your tank to be cleaned at least once every 2 to 5 years. However, if your sludge reaches 30% of the tank height, you should get it cleaned regardless of the years.
The tank needs to be drained and cleaned out properly, and you need to dispose of the sludge the correct way. The sludge needs to be taken to a disposable waste treatment plant. Keeping your septic tank clean and properly maintained can help you save costs in the long run, as you won’t have to repair damages or replace the tank often.
