Can My Septic Tank Be Pumped During Winter?

If you’re new to septic maintenance in Sussex County or you haven’t had a septic tank in a long time, you might have questions about getting your septic system cleaned and pumped.

You Don’t Have to Avoid Winter…

…But it Might Make Things Easier

That said, it’s easier to pump your system when the weather is nicer/warmer. Severe storms can make it difficult, if not impossible, for our equipment to reach your home, especially if you live in a rural area or we have to use dirt roads to get to your home.

Our other concerns with doing septic cleaning in Sussex County in the winter is that the ground can freeze. This may make it more difficult for our experts to gain access to your septic system. We may need to wait for a thaw or bring out extra equipment, which will make your septic cleaning more expensive.

In general, we recommend calling for septic maintenance in Sussex County before winter arrives. However, if you forgot to call or you didn’t know you needed it until after winter arrived, give us a call. We will do everything we can to get your system pumped and cleaned.
