They mostly don't need pumping, if they're working properly. 
Micro-organisms that are doing their job liquefy everything, and it all 
goes into the soil out of the leach lines.  Sometimes too much 
inappropriate stuff (like synthetic fibers that don't biodegrade) gets 
flushed down and clogs things, sometimes too much stuff like chlorine 
and other micro-organism killers massacres the proper population (you 
can be _too_ sanitary in your bathroom: I mostly use white vinegar)(you 
can rebuild the proper critter population with cultures that are 
marketed for septic tanks), sometimes tree or shrub roots invade and 
fill the leach lines (the reason for roto-rooter).
