When you have a property that doesn’t enough space for a septic system, you may have just a holding tank. When you have a holding tank, this means that any household water (shower, toilet, washer, etc) that is used is directed to the tank and once it is full you will need to have it pumped, or else you will get a backup into the house. Most holding tanks are larger than septic tanks so that they can hold more septic waste, they usually are 2,000 gal or more. When you have a holding tank you will need to have it pumped as soon as it’s full, which is approx every 1-2 months. Some holding tanks have an alarm system set up to let you know when the tank is almost full but some do not. If you have a holding tank, please call Adam at Advanced Septic Solutions Inc to get put on a regular pumping schedule.
