A septic system disposes, filters, and treats household waste for homeowners not connected to a municipal sewer system. It consists of a tank and leach field, both of which can last for decades with proper maintenance. However, like anything else, a home’s septic system requires regular service to keep it functioning properly and prevent issues such as clogs and leaks.
Grease trap cleaning is a key part of septic system maintenance that involves the removal of solid waste and sludge from your septic tank to reduce the risk of clogs and other problems. Typically, you should have your septic tank pumped every two to five years, depending on the size of the tank and the number of people living in your home.

During the cleaning process, the septic tank is inspected for structural damage or other signs of trouble, and then drained using a vacuum truck. The tank contents are then sorted through, with the heavier sludge and lighter scum layers being removed and the clean effluent water layer left behind. During this process, any floatables such as grease and fat are also removed from the surface of the liquid waste.
A septic tank that is not emptied often enough can become a cesspool of sewage and waste, causing foul odors throughout your house, backing up drains or toilets, and pooling water on the ground around the septic tank and leach field. Avoid these issues by following septic system maintenance tips, such as:
