Todd Stogner: Have it Pumped. Then use a product such as RIDX / YEAST CAKES once a month. Do not use Powered Laundry Soap ever. Use a bio-degradable bleach. Do not use Powdered dish soap. This will not only help the Septic Tank / But the Septic Field as well. Many years of trouble free Tank and Field.
Dorine Nurre: Boy is right, if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. The only time you should "clean" a septic tank is if there is a problem or you have to work on the tank itself. IE: replacing pipes running into the tank.The tank should never actually be cleaned. There are companies that pump out septic tanks. You call one and have it pumped out. They have equipment for finding the tank and they will do the digging. Beware it doesn't save you any money to dig it up yourself. The tank needs to have bacteria and a biological eco system in place in order to work properly. That is why you should not actually clean the tank unless you have to get inside it to fix something! . If you have a proper bio eco system in place, it should never even need pumped.There is a product called RidEx that you buy somewhere like Lowes or Home Depot, that you just poor in a toilet and flush it down. It helps support the eco system in the tank....Show more
Arlen Hamper: hi kelly ..im a builder in the uk ..i read a lot of questions like this ..mainly from the usa ..have been involved with septic tanks for close on 50 years ..the true answer is .NEVER..if the system is up and running properly it willnever need touching ..i have seen systems over 200 years and have never been touched !..but you do have to look after them .. no caustics if pos ..no rainwater ..too much dilution ...never ever break the crust on the surface ...the only tanks you empty are catchpits...Show more
Willis Liburd: The only practical way is to hire a pump out service..
