Other Reasons to Pump Septic Tanks.Sewage Backups: You should pump the septic tank before it is backing up in to the house or onto the lawn. By this time, pumping the tank is usually a short term remedy. The reason for the backup needs to be determined. Quite often a septic tank that has been neglected will backup because the distribution lines and or drainfield has clogged with sludge.
The solution ends up being a major repair or expensive replacement.
![]() Septic Effluent on the Lawn: strong septic odor or effluent puddles on the lawn in the drainfield area is a good indicator of septic tank problem. This will motivate people to pump their septic tank, but pumping the tank now is a very temporary solution. Effluent on the lawn indicates that a major repair or replacement is necessary.
