What Maintenance is Required for a Septic System?

The Answer:

Septic systems require regular pumping, inspections, and mindful waste disposal to maintain functionality.

To ensure a septic system functions efficiently, regular maintenance is crucial. The most important step is periodic pumping, typically every 3-5 years, depending on tank size and household water usage. Regular inspections also play a significant role, as they help detect potential issues, such as cracks or blockages, before they become costly repairs. To prevent clogs and damage, avoid flushing harmful substances like grease, oils, non-biodegradable items, or chemicals down the drain. Proactive care and responsible waste disposal can extend the lifespan of a septic system and prevent unexpected issues.
