Septic Tank Cleaning Services
Signs that your septic system may require attention include:
- Soft or mushy spots in your yard
- Slow drains
- Gurgling noises when flushing
- Foul Smells
Regular pumping of home septic systems is essential usually every 1 to 3 years, to prevent expensive repairs and health issues. If you experience slow drains or hear gurgling sounds in your sewage system, it's time to pump your septic tank. However, it's advisable to have your tank inspected and pumped before these symptoms arise.
Each time a septic tank is pumped by Accurate Vac Services Ltd., our drivers perform a visual inspection. They look for cracks, excessive sludge, water levels, blocked inlet and outlet pipes, and more. This visual check is part of our standard septic cleaning and pumping service.
How to Avoid Chemical Contamination of your Septic System
Moderate use of household drain solvents, cleaners, and disinfectants typically won't disrupt the septic tank system's operation, but overuse may lead to issues.
It's advisable to avoid using garbage grinders, as they can increase sludge buildup in the septic tank by up to 40%, necessitating annual pumping.
Please refrain from disposing of fuels, grease, paints, thinners, pesticides, cigarette butts, condoms, paper towels, diapers, sanitary napkins, and similar items in the septic tank system, as it can only accommodate biodegradable materials.
Holding Tank Pumping Services
Holding tanks require more frequent maintenance compared to septic tanks. Since holding tanks typically do not allow excess water to drain away, they must be pumped and emptied regularly to manage the collected wastewater and waste from your home. Depending on the tank size and the number of residents, most holding tanks are pumped monthly up to every three months.
​
Many holding tanks are equipped with a sump pump that helps transfer fluid from the house to the tank, especially in cases of inclines. While we do not repair sump pumps, we do inspect them during the holding tank emptying process to ensure they are functioning properly. If repairs are needed, we can often recommend a service provider.
