Regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring the efficient and proper operation of septic systems. Neglecting maintenance can lead to costly repairs or replacements down the line.

Septic systems can fail due to various reasons, including insufficient maintenance, poor soil conditions, excessive sludge, diminishing bacteria levels, high groundwater, and damaged components. Routine maintenance can address all of these issues before they get out of hand.

Without periodic pumping, sludge accumulation and buildup can obstruct the system, causing it to overflow.

With proper maintenance, a septic system can last for several decades.

Common signs of septic issues include wet and soggy soil in the sewage field, often accompanied by unpleasant odors. Additionally, sewage backup into the house and toilets may occur.

It's recommended to pump your system every three to five years, depending on usage.
