Septic Maintenance

Septic systems are practical and effective at processing household waste and purifying wastewater. With the average house producing up to 300 gallons of water per day, the septic tank and drain field are certainly worth caring for to maximize their efficiency and life span.

The tank is the first place your waste goes to begin breakdown and purification, while the remaining wastewater will ultimately end up in the drain field and soil. Ensuring all these components are working properly is an essential part of septic ownership.

Can a Homeowner Do Their Own Maintenance?

While cleaning and maintenance may seem like an easy task for some DIYers that like to figure things out, it is highly recommended to consult a professional that specializes in septic systems. Not only do septic companies have equipment that specifically is built for septic pump outs, cleanings, and inspections, but experts are thoroughly trained in understanding every inch of the underground system.

Certain risks like breathing in harmful and corrosive gases also make it dangerous for homeowners to tackle their own maintenance, which is why we urge home and business owners to contact a trusted and experienced contractor.
