## What septic tank pumping means

**Septic tank pumping.** Septic tank pumping is the removal of accumulated solids and liquid from a septic tank with a vacuum truck. Sludge settles on the bottom and scum floats on top, and pumping takes both out through the access lid.

Once solids build past the outlet, they wash into the drain field and cause backups and field damage that cost far more than a pump-out.

## Septic tank pumping compared with septic tank cleaning

Septic tank pumping and septic tank cleaning are often quoted as the same job, but they cover different amounts of work on the same tank.

| What is compared | Septic tank pumping | Septic tank cleaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| What comes out | Liquid, floating scum, and settled sludge drawn out through the access lid | Everything a pump-out removes, plus residue on the walls, corners, inlet, and outlet |
| Interior wash down | Not included | Included, so the tank interior can be seen |
| Baffle and outlet view | Partial, limited by what is left in the tank | Full view of both baffles and the outlet |
| Typical reason to choose it | Routine maintenance on a system with no symptoms | Neglected tank, heavy buildup, odor complaints, or before an inspection |
