Your septic tank should be pumped out at least once every five years if you want it to stay in optimum working order. Having it cleaned out prevents the sediment from accumulating in the septic tank and creating a sewage backup in your house or triggering the meltdown of the entire septic system.

If grout is stuck in your plumbing, getting rid of it is likely not going to be a do it yourself project. You can break the grout up and make it go further down the line. Plastic pipes, if you have them, will work better than metal. You might have to get a professional to get rid of this issue.
