As you know, your septic system plays an essential role in treating wastewater in your home. However, a lot of people don’t realize how important regular maintenance is to keep the septic tank and leach field functioning properly. Following these simple steps can help you avoid costly repairs and keep your home safe from hazardous waste.

Typically, a septic system will last 15 to 40 years, and the tanks themselves can be used for up to 50. It’s vital to stay on top of septic tank cleaning, inspections and other routine services to make sure you’re getting the most out of your system.
Busy Bee Septic and Excavating LLC is a concrete or fiberglass water-tight container that’s buried underground close to your home. It’s where all the wastewater from your sinks, toilets, and washing machines flows. Eventually, the wastewater percolates through the soil where microbes and other organisms treat it.
One of the most important steps in septic tank maintenance is having it pumped every three to five years. This process removes the sludge and scum that builds up in the tank. If these solids are not removed, they will flow out of the septic system and clog the drain lines and leach field.
Another key part of septic maintenance is having your septic tank baffles inspected and repaired as needed. These baffles restrain and redirect the flow of scum in and out of your septic tank, so you don’t experience septic tank leaks. A septic professional can check these for damage or wear during your tank pumping process, as well as make any necessary repairs.
