While there is no doubt your septic system will last longer if you have your tank pumped on a regular basis. While the bacteria found in the tank naturally converts many of the solids into liquids, but not all of them. Those that remain accumulate over time and needs to be pumped out.

If allowed to go unchecked, they can back up into the house, clog filters, and end up in the drain field. Which can end up be very expensive to repair!

While it may seem like your septic system should last forever, about 30% of them fail every year!

Depending on the size of your home an inspection from a professional every year or at least every other year is essential. This is usually scheduled in the Spring, during spring cleaning, and then you don’t have to worry about it the rest of the year.

The fact is, today’s antibacterial soaps, laundry detergents, and household cleaners are all designed to kill bacteria and germs, though great for cleaning your home, not so good for your septic system. These cleaners keep doing their job long after you put them down the drain, killing the necessary bacteria in the septic tank responsible for breaking down solid waste, paper, fats and grease into liquid form. A drop in the tank’s bacteria level will cause a host of problems from an emergency in your bathroom to the drain field not working.

The small price of pumping the tank can avoid the thousands of dollars on repairs, many of which could have been prevented. If you’re experiencing issues with your septic system, waiting usually makes the problems worse. Regular maintenance and inspections can prevent failures and save you a ton of money in replacement and repairs.
