Septic Tank Pumping and Inspections

Septic tank pumping is a must to remove debris and sludge from the tank. EPA recommends having septic tank pumped every 3-5 years to ensure your system functions efficiently and effectively.

Tips for Maintaining Your Septic System

  • Do not put too much water into the septic system; typical water use is about 50 gallons per day for each person in the family.

  • Do not add materials (chemicals, sanitary napkins, applicators, and so on) other than domestic wastewater.

  • Do not pour grease or cooking oils down the sink drain.

  • Make a diagram showing the location of your tank, drainfield, and repair

  • Install a watertight riser over the septic tank to simplify access.

  • Have the effluent filter in the septic tank cleaned periodically by a professional.

  • Have the solids pumped out of the septic tank periodically.

  • Maintain adequate vegetative cover over the drainfield.

  • Keep surface waters away from the tank and drainfield.

  • Keep automobiles and heavy equipment off the system.

Do not plan any building additions, pools, driveways, or other construction work near the septic system or the repair area.
