Notes on when a tank is due
Gallons, people, lids, and the difference between a five-year date and a wet yard.
When a 1,000-gallon tank is actually dueThree people and 1,000 gallons lands near five years. A wet lid does not wait for that date.A buried lid is part of the jobWes asks whether the concrete lid is exposed before a truck is promised for the same afternoon.A backup is not the five-year visitSewage in the yard or a slow drain that will not clear is a same-day intake, not a calendar reminder.What the pumper sees before the addressCity, gallons, household size, lid access, and whether the field is wet. The street shows after the claim.Why household size changes the yearThe estimate adds about 50 gallons of solids per person per year. A new baby moves the date.A spongy drain field is not a pump-only visitPumping a full tank does not repair a saturated field. Wes records the wet ground so the company is not surprised.What to write down after the truck leavesGallons pumped, the date, and whether the lid was buried. That note is the next interval.A full house on a holiday is a different tankExtra showers and a dishwasher running all weekend can surface a tank that was fine in June.
