Keep Your Thonotosassa Septic Tank Healthy

One of the major drawbacks to a septic system is that you can’t just forget about them (although it's easy when it's out of sight!). The homeowner or property owner is completely responsible for the safe and clean operation of their septic system. This includes the regular maintenance and pumping of all the solids out of the septic tank.

Septic System Maintenance Tips For Thonotosassa Homeowners

#1.  Do not put bleach or other chemicals down your drain.  They can kill the necessary bacteria in your septic tank.

#2.  Do not flush baby wipes down the toilet.  Even if the package says "flushable".  Trust us, while they will flush down the drain, they WILL eventually cause a clog and your system will backup.

#3.  Do not flush or pour grease or cooking oil down your drains.  It will cool, solidify, and eventually clog the inlet or outlet in your septic tank, causing a backup.

Become familiar with your septic system and the locations of important parts of the system. You should know the locations of your septic tanks, your clean-outs, the distribution box, and your drain field.  On older properties that have switched hands several times, it's not uncommon to lose track of where the tank and drain field are located.  We can provide septic tank location services if that's the case.

Thonotosassa FL Septic Tank Pumping - We Pump Septic Tanks Of All Sizes!

There are a variety of septic tank sizes found throughout Thonotosassa, FL with 600 gallons to 1500 gallons being the most common sizes of septic tanks we are called to pump out.  The more bathrooms your home has, the more capacity your tank should have.  Regardless of the size of your septic tank, we can pump it out quickly.

When Should You Pump Your Septic Tank In Thonotosassa Florida?

You should pump your septic tank every 3-5 years depending on use.  There are other factors and indicators that might want to make you pump your septic tank out at more frequent intervals.  We can help you establish a septic pumping schedule that will keep your system healthy.

It’s a good idea to at least inspect your tank once a year. It’s simple to inspect the tank yourself if you know it’s location and the lid is exposed, or you can have a septic tank technician from Coleman Tank Solutions, Inc. check the levels of liquids and solids for you. You should periodically check your septic drain field for any odors or water pooling on the surface as well.

If you have a large family, a large home, attached suites, your system back ups frequently, or anything else that would put additional usage on your septic system, then you should consider increasing your septic tank pumping frequency as suggested by your tank technician.

How Much Does Septic Tank Pumping Cost In Thonotosassa, Florida?

The cost for our septic tank pumping service can vary depending on the distance we need to travel, the size of your tank, and whether or not we'll have to dig up your lid or spend additional time locating your system. The disposal costs can fluctuate depending on which dump site is closest to your location.  Our quotes for pumping a tank include trucking both ways, pumping of ALL tank solids and liquids, a quick visual inspection of the tank and it's condition, cleaning the filter if your septic tank has one, and disposing of your sewage at the proper facility.

You'll find our septic tank pumping pricing in Thonotosassa is very competitive and our quality of service and response times are always unmatched!

What Can I Do To Get My Septic Tank Ready For Pumping?

We appreciate customers that go out of their way to make our job easier and more efficient.  Here are a few things you can do to make things easier for us and to get your tank ready for pumping.

#1.  Know the location of your septic tank.  You might have a visible lid or septic risers or your septic tank lid might be hidden under grass, brush, or something else.  If you know the location, it's very helpful, if you don't know the location we can provide septic tank location services for an additional fee.

#2.  Dig Up Your Septic Lids.  If you know the location of the tank it's always helpful and appreciated if you dig up the lids so they are ready to be removed.  We are happy to dig up the lids for you but there is an additional fee.

#3.  Move Vehicles, Boats, or RV's.  If you have vehicles, boats, or RV's in your driveway that will be in the way of our truck getting close to your septic tank it's a good idea to move them before hand.  We want to avoid driving on grass or lawn areas if possible.  Septic trucks are heavy, especially when loaded and we don't want to cause ruts or damage to your property or even worse, get stuck!  If we can get our truck to within 200 feet of your septic tank while keeping the wheels on solid ground it's much better.

Septic System Maintenance Tips for Thonotosassa Homeowners

Maintaining your septic system is essential to ensure its longevity and efficiency. Proper care can prevent costly repairs and protect your property and the environment. Here are some essential maintenance tips for Thonotosassa homeowners:

Regular Pumping

Get your septic tank pumped every 3 to 5 years by a professional. Regular pumping prevents sludge and scum buildup, which can cause system failure due to overloading your system.

2. Conserve Water

High water usage can overload your septic system. Implement water-saving practices such as fixing any plumbing leaks, using water-efficient fixtures, and spreading out laundry over several days.

3. Proper Waste Disposal

Only biodegradable waste should go into your septic system. Avoid flushing non-degradable items like wipes, diapers, and feminine hygiene products, which can cause blockages.

4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Harsh chemicals can kill the beneficial bacteria in your septic tank that break down waste. Use septic-safe cleaning products and avoid pouring bleach, cleaners, paint, solvents, or pesticides down the drain.

5. Protect the Drain Field

Do not park vehicles or place heavy objects on your drain field to avoid compacting the soil. Plant only grass or shallow-rooted plants over the drain field to prevent roots from damaging the pipes.

6. Regular Inspections

Have your septic system inspected by a professional at least once a year. Regular inspections can detect potential issues early, allowing for timely repairs and preventing system failure.  If you want to do this yourself just pop the lids off and take a quick look and check the effluent filter isn't clogged.

7. Maintain Accurate Records

Keep detailed records of your septic system's location, maintenance history, and pumping schedule. These records can be helpful for future maintenance and when selling your property.

8. Manage Household Waste

Minimize the use of garbage disposals, as they can increase the amount of solids entering the septic tank. Compost kitchen waste instead of disposing of it in the sink.

9. Educate Your Household

Ensure everyone in your household understands how the septic system works and the importance of proper maintenance. Simple actions, like not pouring grease down the drain, can make a significant difference.

10. Monitor Water Usage During Storms

Heavy rains can saturate the soil around your drain field, making it difficult for wastewater to be properly treated. During such times, limit water usage to prevent overloading the system.

By following these maintenance tips, Thonotosassa homeowners can keep their septic systems running smoothly and efficiently. For professional septic tank pumping and maintenance services, contact Coleman Tank Solutions, Inc. Our experienced team is here to help you with all your septic system needs.

Questions About Septic Tank Pumping?

Most septic tanks should be pumped every 3 to 5 years, depending on the size of the tank, the number of people in the household, and water usage habits. Regular pumping helps prevent system failure and prolongs the life of your septic system.

Common signs include:

  • Slow drains or backups in sinks, toilets, or showers.
  • Gurgling sounds in the plumbing system.
  • Unpleasant odors around the tank or drain field.
  • Standing water or lush, green grass over the drain field area.

Failing to pump your septic tank can lead to system overload, causing untreated wastewater to back up into your home or overflow into the yard. This can result in costly repairs, environmental contamination, and health hazards.

Your septic tank location can often be found on the original building plans. If these are unavailable, a professional can use specialized equipment to locate the tank. Typically, the tank is buried between 10 to 25 feet from the house.

If you suspect a septic system failure, contact a professional immediately. Signs of failure include sewage backups, slow drains, and wet areas around the drain field. Avoid using water until the problem is assessed and repaired to prevent further damage.

If your septic system is backed up the best thing to do is call a professional like Coleman Tank Solutions, Inc. (813) 687-4990While septic systems aren't very complex, it's definitely dirty work, and you need to know exactly where to look in order to quickly solve a backed up septic system.  It could be a clogged inlet or outlet, a clogged effluent filter, a clogged distribution box, or the worst case scenario, a problem with your septic drain field.
