Can Septic Systems Be Pumped During the Winter?

Below 30 degrees it gets tougher as the material can freeze in the hose during the process. The hose provides a lot of cold surface area to promote freezing. Secondly, the valves on the truck can freeze. The valves are very precise with very close tolerances to prevent leaking. It only takes a drop or two of water to freeze the valves, then they won’t function.
