What happens if I don't pump my septic tank regularly?
Skipping routine pumping allows solids to build up and damage your drain field, leading to backups, odors, and expensive repairs costing thousands. Regular pumping prevents system failure and protects your investment. In Kewanee's clay and silty soil, proper maintenance is especially important for long-term performance.

What should I do to prepare for a septic pumping appointment?
