Default To Pump or Not to Pump

We are about like you (two people). I had our 1000 gallon tank pumped after
7 years. It was a waste of money, only 5-10 gallons of sludge. I made a
note to have it pumped in another 10 years but I'll probably wait at least
15, maybe 20. Maybe never.


The house I grew up in was built around 1899. It was/is a huge house
that had, until recently, 4 to 12 people living in it. The septic tank
was never touched for 100 years. After 100 years, the township put a
sewer line through and we had to hook up to the municipal sewer.
