Why Septic System Maintenance

With proper maintenance, a septic system that was installed properly–and doesn’t fall victim to some kind of natural disaster–can last for 25 to 35 years. In addition to extending the infrastructure’s lifetime, performing periodic maintenance will ensure your family always has reliable plumbing, the importance of which cannot be overstated.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you pump a septic tank?

The average septic tank serving a single-family home should be pumped every three to five years. The precise frequency depends on a variety of factors, including the size of the tank and the amount of water the family uses on a regular basis.

How often should a septic system be inspected?

A reputable contractor will inspect your septic system before pumping the tank. If the infrastructure includes alternative components, however, like electrical float switches or mechanical fixtures, you should also schedule inspections between pumpings. Generally speaking, it’s wise to have a certified technician come out once a year to confirm everything is in good working order.

How do you know when it’s time to pump your septic tank?

It’s best to get on a regular maintenance schedule so the tank never gets too full. If you’re unsure when it was last serviced, though, signs that it’s overdue for pumping include pooling water, slow drains, sewer backup, and lush, green grass over the drain field.
