Today my computer told me that it's time to have the septic tank pumped and cleaned.
I had it done last in Aug 2004. Apparently the cleaner recommended it be done again in five years.
However, from the chart on this page, I figure I don't need it pumped until 2013 (i.e. 9 years. We have an 1800 gal tank, there were three people living here until 2006, and now only two).
Since it costs $600 to have it done, I don't want to do it any more frequently than necessary.
Is my reasoning sound?
Thanks,
Al
