​The Do's & Don'ts of a Septic System

​How Do I Know If There Is A Problem With My Septic System?

​​​Maintaining your septic system is much cheaper than replacing it! We recommend getting your septic tank serviced every 2-3 Years, in order to help prolong the life of your septic system! 


​​​How Do I Locate My Septic Tank?

​​​​First thing you want to do is measure from the corner of your house to the pipe that is going out of the wall (inside the house). Then go out side and use that same measurement, thus will help to determine where the pipe is. Take a small piece of rebar and poke it in to the ground until you hit something solid. This will likely be your tank. Try not to hit the pipe directly (as it can damage it). Start about 10 feet away from your house, then go every 5 feet after that. Be sure to find the two lides as there is two sides of your tank. Make sure you find both lids.

DO:

  • Know The Location Of Your Septic System
  • Keep Record Of When You Had Your Septic Serviced
  • Have your Septic Tank Serviced Every 2-3 Years
  • Clean Your filter atleast once or twice a year (if your system as one) 
  • Try To Conserve your water usage
