What’s the Difference Between Septic Pumping and Septic Cleaning?

Many homeowners assume pumping and cleaning are the same, but they’re actually two different services, and both play important roles in maintaining your system.

Septic Pumping

Pumping removes the liquid and solid waste that settles inside your septic tank. It’s essential maintenance that keeps your system from overflowing or backing up.

Septic Cleaning

Cleaning goes a step further. This service removes the stubborn sludge, compacted solids, grease buildup and residue that pumping alone can’t eliminate. Cleaning restores your tank to a more efficient state, reduces odors and helps prevent future problems in the drain field.

If pumping is maintenance, septic cleaning is renewal. Both are important, and every system eventually needs a deep clean.


Why Is Deep Septic Cleaning Important?

Over time, septic tanks develop layers of thick sludge that standard pumping can’t fully remove. If left alone, this buildup can:

  • Restrict flow inside the tank
  • Reduce holding capacity
  • Push solids into the drain field
  • Cause clogs and backups
  • Lead to expensive system failures

A deep cleaning removes this compacted material, giving your tank the clean slate it needs to work properly.


What Does The Deep Septic Cleaning Process Include?

Apollo’s cleaning service is designed to restore the health and efficiency of your septic system. Our NAWT-certified technicians follow a thorough, step-by-step process:

Tank Access & Initial Inspection: We locate the tank, remove lids, and examine the condition of your system.

Complete Pump-Out: All liquid waste, sludge, and solids are pumped out using professional equipment.

Deep Interior Cleaning: We use high-pressure water and specialized tools to loosen compacted materials, grease, residue, and hardened buildup that pumping alone leaves behind.

Tank Wall & Baffle Cleaning: Interior surfaces are flushed and cleared, restoring flow paths and improving efficiency.

Final Inspection & Feedback: We look for cracks, leaks, root intrusion, or structural issues and provide clear, honest recommendations.

The result is a septic system that performs better, lasts longer, and stays cleaner between services.


How Often Do You Need Septic Cleaning?

While pumping should be done every 3–5 years, septic cleaning may be needed less frequently. Cleaning schedules depend on:

  • Tank age
  • Household size
  • Water usage
  • Garbage disposal use
  • Previous maintenance
  • System performance

If you’ve noticed odors, frequent backups, or heavy sludge buildup, it may be time for a deep clean. Call Apollo Drain And Septic at (928) 726-1199 for a personalized recommendation.
