Most systems should be pumped every 3 to 5 years, depending on usage, household size, and tank capacity. Larger families or homes with high water usage may require more frequent pumping.

Warning signs include:

- Slow or backed-up drains

- Gurgling toilets

- Foul odors around your yard

- Wet or soggy spots in your drain field

- High grass or plant growth in one specific area

If you notice any of these, call us immediately at (479) 322-1435.
