If you have a building that isn’t connected to a municipal sewer system, a septic system is your only option for dealing with waste. When installing a septic system, the location of the tank and drain field is essential for ensuring the system works properly.
Getting the right size of septic tank is also important for limiting how often you need to have the tank pumped. If the tank is too small, it will obviously fill up more quickly and can create issues that prevent your septic system from working correctly.
You’ll normally only need to have your septic tank pumped once every three to five years. However, it’s important that you don’t wait too long, or you may experience issues requiring you to hire a septic tank repair service.
The worst issue is if solid waste starts flowing out of the septic tank into the drain field. When this happens, it usually ends up clogging the drain field. Unfortunately, the only way you can usually overcome this issue is to dig up and replace the drain field.
The best way to avoid septic issues is to watch out for these signs that can indicate septic tank pumping or repairs are necessary.
Sewage backing up
Slow drains and toilets
Sewage odors near septic tank or drain field
Standing water around tank or drain field
Chugging or gurgling sounds in toilets and drains
Another essential factor in maintaining your septic system is to limit the amount of solid materials that go down your drains and toilets. Anything other than toilet paper and human waste will fill the tank more quickly since they don’t break down as easily.
It’s also essential to avoid putting chemicals into a septic system, or you can kill the beneficial bacteria inside the septic tank. When this happens, the solids will quickly build up since there aren’t enough bacteria to efficiently break everything down.
You must also take steps to protect your septic drain field. Specifically, you should make sure to never drive over the field, place any structures over it, or plant any trees or shrubs near it.
