Frequently Asked Questions

What is septic tank maintenance?

Septic tank maintenance involves regular inspection, pumping, cleaning, and care of your septic system to ensure it functions properly. Routine maintenance helps prevent backups, odors, and costly repairs.

Most septic tanks should be pumped every 3 to 5 years. However, the frequency can vary depending on tank size, household size, water usage, and the amount of solids entering the system.

Look out for:

  • Slow drains or gurgling pipes

  • Sewage odors inside or outside the home

  • Standing water or soggy soil near the drain field

  • Sewage backups in toilets or sinks

  • Unusually lush or green grass over the tank area

Neglecting septic maintenance can lead to serious problems, including:

  • System backups and overflows

  • Drain field failure

  • Expensive emergency repairs or full system replacement

  • Health hazards and environmental contamination

A typical inspection includes:

  • Checking sludge and scum levels

  • Inspecting the tank’s structural integrity

  • Testing flow from the house to the tank

  • Checking baffles and filters

  • Assessing the drain field performance

Additives are not a substitute for pumping. While some may help break down solids, regular pumping is still necessary to remove sludge and prevent system overload.

You can protect your system by:

  • Avoiding flushing non-biodegradable items

  • Not pouring grease or harsh chemicals down the drain

  • Conserving water to reduce system load

  • Scheduling regular inspections and pumping

  • Protecting the drain field from heavy traffic or planting deep-rooted trees nearby
