Most modern RVs have two septic tanks — gray and black. The gray tank collects water from showers and sinks, while the black tank collects residue from the RV toilet. RV owners can clean their septic tanks, but there are several benefits to having a professional perform this task. With the proper knowledge of each of an RV’s tanks, Ben Toilet Rentals provides portable restroom services for customers all over Northern California.

3 Advantages of Having Septic Tanks Professionally Cleaned

1. The Tanks Will Be Spotless

Your RV's black tank should be carefully emptied, as it contains human waste. This process requires being next to a sewer outlet or dumping station — unless you have a portable tank. If you’re unfamiliar with this process, it’s easy to make mistakes with unpleasant results. So, hiring a professional to do this will allow you to keep up with regular RV septic maintenance without the fuss.

2. Your System Will Function Properly

A professional RV holding tank cleaning requires more than emptying your septic tanks. In many cases, a professional cleaning will also remove additional waste that may clog your tank. Professional cleaning can ensure that all your valves are open and your holding tanks are functioning properly following any cleaning.

3. Nothing Will Be Overlooked

Regularly cleaning a septic tank yourself is not the same as a deep clean. Deep cleaning helps clear sensors and remove buildup. While the black tank is usually the focus because of its contents, don’t overlook the greasy substances that can accumulate in gray tanks.

You should not hesitate to ask for help when you think your septic tanks need to be cleaned. The next time you need the black and gray tanks on your RV changed, contact Ben Toilet Rentals.
