Maintaining your septic system protects the investment you have made in your home.   In order to maintain your septic tank system, you should periodically inspect your septic tank system and pump out your septic tank.

How your system works

Most septic tanks systems have four main components: a pipe from the home; a septic tank, a drain field and the soil.  Microbes in the soil remove most of the contaminants from the wastewater before it reaches groundwater.  To keep your septic tank system working properly and to save potentially thousands of dollars for the repair or replacement of your septic tank system, inspect your septic tank system on a regular basis and to prevent buildup, remove sludge and floating scum with regular septic system pumping.

Maintaining your septic tank system

A properly maintained septic system reduces or eliminates most human health or environmental threats posed by pollutants in household wastewater.  But the biggest reason to maintain your septic tank system is to save money, and who doesn’t want to do that?  Failing septic tank systems are expensive to repair or replace and poor maintenance is often the reason septic systems fail.  Your septic tank and septic system should be inspected by a professional at least every three years.  If your septic tank system is stressed by a large family or high usage, you should probably have your septic tank system inspected more frequently.

What can you expect during a septic system inspection?

When your septic system is inspected, the inspector will locate the system, uncover access holes, flushing toilets, check for signs of back up, measure scum and sludge layers, indentify any leaks, inspection mechanical components and pump the septic tank, if necessary.  You should write the sludge and scum levels in your operation and maintenance records.  This information will help you decide how often pumping is necessary.
