How to Maintain a Septic Tank & System

• Pump Regularly.  Pump your septic tank out regularly as a neglected system could impose health risks to you and your family. It is recommended that septic tank be pumped every 3-5 years.

• Clean Your Filter.  There is a filter inside the tank that must be cleaned annually.  

• Watch What Your Flush.  Make sure that ONLY human waste and toilet paper are flushed. You should not be putting any additives, chemicals, paint, food particles or anything else into your septic system as it could clog and/or cause costly damage to it. Do not use any Rid-X or powdered soaps!

• Know Where it is. It is important to know where the system is located so you do not drive anything over it including heavy machinery or vehicles as this could crush or damage your system and cause serious problems. Do not build anything within ten feet of the system, including a deck or patio.
