What is the best time of year to pump?

We can pump a septic any time of year. Spring and summer are better as the ground is a bit warmer thereby allowing the bacterial action in a septic tank to start up faster. Many people like to wait until fall to schedule a service call as part of their pre-winter maintenance.

Tip: If standpipes are cut low or flush with the ground, remember to mark them in case of a winter back up.
