How Do You Know When To Pump Your Septic System or Holding Tank?

Holding tanks usually have an alarm system to notify the owner of when the tank needs to be pumped out with a vac truck.  There is often a visual alarm of some type and an audible alarm of some type.  Holding tanks do not actually break-down the waste/sewage as a septic system can so it’s important a holding tank is pumped out promptly when it’s full.

With septic tanks the frequency of pumpouts can vary depending on the size of your tank, the amount of bathrooms in your household and your water usage habits.  The average family home on a septic system in the Greater Victoria area of Saanich Peninsula could expect to pump-out their system every 3-5 years.  5 years is the maximum allowable time between septic pump outs if you are located within the Capital Regional District (CRD).

Failing to pump out your system in a timely manner or as part of regular septic system maintenance can lead to system blockages, a build-up of solids, dispersal field problems, sewage pooling on your property and more.
