				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3>General Rule: 3–5 Years</h3>
<p>Most systems need pumping every 3–5 years, but it depends on tank size and household use.</p>
<h3>What Affects Pumping Schedules</h3>
<p>Household size (bigger families = more waste)</p>
<p>Tank size (smaller tanks fill faster)</p>
<p>Water habits (long showers, garbage disposal use, laundry loads)</p>
<h3>Signs It’s Time to Pump</h3>
<p>Slow drains across the house</p>
<p>Sewage odors inside or outside</p>
<p>Pooling water or soggy yard</p>
