Proper maintenance is crucial to ensuring the longevity of your septic system. There are several factors that can impact the lifespan of a septic system, including water usage, household size, and maintenance schedule. To keep your septic system functioning optimally, it is generally recommended to pump the tank when the solids accumulation reaches around 30% of the total liquid depth in the tank. However, it's important to have a professional septic service provider evaluate your specific situation to determine the best maintenance schedule for your septic system.
A skilled septic service provider will use specialized tools like a sludge judge, sewer camera, metal detector, and jetter to properly evaluate and maintain your septic system and drain field. By getting on a regular maintenance schedule with a professional service provider, you can rest assured that your system is being properly inspected and maintained, which can help extend its lifespan and prevent costly repairs down the line.
Additionally, regular maintenance can help identify potential issues early on, allowing them to be addressed before they become more serious and costly to fix. By taking a proactive approach to septic system maintenance, you can save money in the long run while also ensuring that your system is operating efficiently and effectively.
