An improperly maintained septic system can become a huge headache. In addition to unexpected backups, overflowing tanks can ruin a septic drainage bed. The cost of drainage bed replacement is far greater than any typical maintainance.
It is good practice to get to know an experienced septic repair company who can advise you on the specifics of your system and the type of maintainance it will require based on your usage.
A typical single family home will have a septic system with two tanks holding 500 gallons of water each. The tanks are always full of water and are designed to keep solid waste from draining into the dispersion field or sand mound.
Tanks should be emptied every three to five years, but this rule is not true for every family and every system. Some systems have very small tanks of 125 gallons or less. Families with multiple bathrooms and 5 or more people using the system will need more frequent cleanings.
