In Missouri, pumping every 3 to 5 years is a common recommendation. This depends on your household size and water usage. Consider your specific needs in the St. Louis area. Regular pumping prevents backups.
Look for slow drains, gurgling sounds from your plumbing, and unpleasant odors. Pooling water in your yard or unusually green grass over the drain field are also signs. These indicate a need for service.
