How often should you pump your septic tank?

Grumpty's answer
Every 36 months
Why bother
Skip it and it backs up the drains. This is an essentials-tier job. Skip it and you're inviting the expensive kind of problem, or the dangerous kind.
When to start thinking about it
This usually means booking someone, so the grumbling starts 30 days ahead to leave time to line it up. Mark it done and Grumpty sets the next one, every 36 months, so you can go back to forgetting it exists.
EssentialPlumbing checklist
Let Grumpty remember it for you
Add it once. Grumpty tracks the date, grumbles when it's due, and rolls it forward the moment you mark it done. No spreadsheets, no sticky notes, no forgetting.
