SEPTIC SYSTEM FAQ

Understanding your septic system helps prevent emergencies.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I PUMP MY TANK?

Most households: every 3–5 years. Larger families or heavy usage: more frequently.

WHAT SHOULDN'T I PUT DOWN THE DRAIN?

Do not flush wipes, feminine hygiene products, paper towels, grease, harsh chemicals, or food scraps.

WILL MY GARBAGE DISPOSAL HURT MY SYSTEM?

Yes, use it in moderation. It puts too many solids in your system, which can eventually lead to costly repairs and headaches.

WHY DO I SMELL SEPTIC ODORS AROUND MY PROPERTY?

Odors can be caused by a dry P-trap, a full tank, or issues with your vents. If filling your P-traps doesn't work, it's time for an inspection.

WHY MAINTAIN MY SYSTEM IF EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE?

In most cases, it's too late to save a system after problems develop. Regular maintenance protects your leach field and saves you from massive repair bills.

"With proper maintenance, a septic system can last decades, saving you thousands in costly repairs.”"
