  • How often should I have my septic tank cleaned?

    It's recommended that your system be serviced every one to two years, according to our expert septic installer team. However, dwellings with family members of three or more should service their system annually. If you have a garbage disposal and use it more than sparingly, then you should schedule mandatory septic pumping on a yearly basis. Older homes with small older systems may require pumping more frequently. According to the EPA, a septic tank should be pumped if 25% or more of the liquid is scum and sludge, so if you're unsure whether you need septic tank cleaning services, be sure to reach out to our expert team today!

  • How close do you need to get to the septic tank?

    Our truck carries approximately 200 feet of hose. More hose is available at an additional cost. For more information about our septic pumping services at R M Ratta Corp, give us a call at (978) 772-1600 today,

  • My drains are gurgling! What's wrong?

    In most cases, you probably have a plugged main line or your septic tank is flooded or overfull. However, in some cases, a vent problem could cause gurgling. Please call our septic tank installer team for a camera inspection of your main sewer line.
