  Septic Tank Pumping -- Do you need to

I have had septic tanks in each of the three houses I have owned, and I have never pumped a tank once. The longest I was in a house was 13 years. So is it really necessary to pump them out, or am I just lucky.

My current house has the exposed manhole cover so it would be super easy, and I have lived here 4 years.

If it is pumped out, what about all those bacteria additives is that just bull ____ ?

  Septic Tank Pumping -- Do you need to

So, besides spending the money to get it pumped, I guess we are all saying that pumping it cannot really hurt the system??? Right!

And if anything may help prevent the leach field from getting clogged. I know this is usually the most expensive part of the system.

After it is pumped do you have to run your tap water to fill it up?? And then add yogurt or other bottled bacteria to it?? Or do you just let it fill up as you use it??

  Septic Tank Pumping -- Do you need to

Thanks for bringing up this post, I think I will use it to mark the date that I have had it pumped, as I forget when the last time was, been i this house 14 years now and had it pumped twice. Must be due or maybe not ........
