Clean Septic Tanks Every 3 To 5 Years
Iowa State College extension engineer Carroll Worlan says septic tanks should be cleaned every three to five years if not hired out. Cleaning takes about half a day. use a sludge pump or bucket and rope. Empty sludge 10 to 15 feet away into a dirt pit. sludge is digested sewage with no fertilizer value. Inspect annually for sludge buildup and clean when it nears half the depth between inlets and outlets. beware of toxic or inflammable gases during the process.
