Your septic system is in the ground, and most of the time, you don’t even think about it being there. When was the last time you scheduled septic pumping? Are you uncertain where your tank even sits? While it can be easy to put off this necessary service, at American Waste Septic, we find that there are quite a few reasons that it’s important to schedule septic pumping regularly at your home:

1. Leaks – Did you know your septic tank can leak, causing it not to work properly and to affect the ground around it? Routine septic pumping helps to avoid this situation by having a professional take a look at your system each time he or she comes out to clean your tank.
   
2. Damage – Not only can your tank sustain damage, but so can the other pieces of your septic system outside your home. Routine septic pumping will help you address concerns from backups to overflows that could be a potential risk to your property.
   
3. Safety – Obviously your septic system serves the purpose of safely handling waste and returning it back to the groundwater in a healthy way. Septic pumping can help to prevent overflows or leaks that cause an unsafe environment at your home.
   
4. Expense – While septic pumping is pretty easy to put on the backburner, you can save yourself a lot of expense by avoiding a septic emergency. Routine septic cleaning can help you address issues before they become major concerns, giving you peace of mind.
