Septic Maintenance
Keep your septic system healthy with simple, regular care. Pump the tank every 3–5 years (or as recommended), schedule periodic inspections, and fix leaks promptly. Conserve water to reduce strain, avoid flushing wipes, grease, chemicals, or pharmaceuticals, and use septic-safe cleaners. Protect the drainfield—don’t drive or park on it, and keep roof and footing drains diverted away. Maintain records of service and permits, and call a professional at the first sign of slow drains, backups, or odors. Regular care extends system life, protects your property, and prevents costly repairs.
