How often should a septic tank be pumped in Florida?

In Florida, homeowners should have their septic tanks pumped every 3 to 5 years, depending on household size and water usage. Regular maintenance prevents backups, odors, and system failures. If you notice slow drains or foul smells, your septic tank may need servicing sooner.
