The performance and durability of your septic system depends heavily on the upkeep and maintenance of your system. The system must be cleaned our regularly, and if this is not done, the layers of sludge and gunk buildup begin to overwhelm your system as it thickens and expands until there is minimal space for the effluent to exist and perform its duties. As a result, solid excrement enters the draining system each time that water enters your septic tank. If solid waste is overrun your drain fields over a period of time, it can lead to clogs or a breakdown of the system's ability to process waste properly. Solid wastes should never exit the tank in this manner. It should remain stored there until such time as you have the tank cleaned by a professional septic cleaning company.

​

Most septic tanks are designed to hold a set amount of waste, therefore we highly recommend that you arrange for your septic tank system to be cleaned and maintenanced after no more than three years of use. If your home endures a high amount of traffic throughout the year or on a regular basis, or if you suspect a problem, please contact us a call right away.
