It is not recommended to inspect your septic system yourself as there can be dangerous gases and bacteria present. It is best to hire a licensed professional for inspections and maintenance.
On average, you should have your septic tank pumped every 3 - 5 years. Maintaining a regular septic tank pumping schedule prolongs the life of the entire septic field, which can be extremely costly to replace. In addition to potentially expensive repair costs, another important reason to pump your septic tank is for health reasons. When the septic tank is full, sewage will overflow. The sewage that spills out of the tank will either make its way up to the surface, or it will seep its way down into the ground water.
- Water and sewage from toilets, drains, and sinks backing up into the home’s plumbing
- Bathtubs, showers, and sinks draining very slowly
- Gurgling sounds in the plumbing system
- Standing water or damp spots near or over the septic tank or drainfield
- Sewage odors around the septic tank or drainfield
- Bright green, spongy lush grass over the septic tank or drainfield, even during dry weather
- Regular Pumping: To maintain a healthy septic system, regular pumping of the septic tank is crucial. Over time, the accumulation of sludge and scum can reduce the tank’s efficiency, leading to potential issues. A professional should inspect and pump the tank every 3-5 years, depending on household size and water usage.
- Water Conservation: Conserving water is a key factor in septic system health. Excessive water use can overwhelm the system, leading to premature failure. Simple practices like fixing leaks, using low-flow fixtures, and spacing out laundry loads can make a significant difference.
- Mindful Disposal: Be mindful of what goes down the drain. Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items, chemicals, or excessive amounts of grease. These can disrupt the natural bacterial balance in the septic tank and lead to clogs.
- Landscaping Considerations: Protect the drain field by avoiding heavy construction or parking vehicles on it. Planting grass or shallow-rooted vegetation over the drain field helps absorb excess moisture and prevents soil erosion.
