How Often Should You Pump Your Cesspool?

The General Rule
Most homes need their cesspool pumped every two to three years, but the right schedule depends on the size of your household and how much water you use. Larger families and homes with garbage disposals tend to need more frequent service, while smaller households can often go a little longer.
What Affects Your Schedule
The number of people in your home, the size of your cesspool, and your daily water habits all play a role. Doing many loads of laundry, running long showers, or having extra guests can fill a system faster than expected. Keeping an eye on how your drains perform is a good way to gauge whether service is due.
