We have our septic pumped every five years. Our homeowner policy requires it in case there is a problem we have proof it isn't owner's negligence. Check you policy. We didn't know this the first time we had a problem. Thank goodness it wasn't a costly one. Not many know about owner's negligence on any claim until it's too late.
