D&D Sanitation septic tank information
How often do I need to pump my septic tank?
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality recommends that septic systems are pumped every three to five years. If four people live in a four-bedroom house, a 1,000-gallon tank may need to be pumped approximately every three years or more. If the same system services a family of two, the tank would be ready for pumping every five years.
(See recommended schedule for septic pumping below)
