Need your septic pumped? Can You Pump a Septic Tank in the Winter?
Technically, yes! Septic tanks are pumpable year-round. But, did you know winter is not the optimal season for doing so. Once the ground freezes, it’s hard to get to the septic tank and fully pump it. Aside from being more inconvenient, frozen temperatures also lead to frozen contents of your septic tank if there was any erosion that changed the freeze line.
To avoid a frozen septic tank, schedule a pumping before the winter. This way the tank enters the season as clean and healthy as possible.
