What exactly is a septic tank?

A septic tank is a watertight container, generally made of concrete, that is buried within your property and that receives wastewater from your home.

When should I clean my septic system?

Septic tanks should be pumped and inspected every 2 years, but cleaning depends on your tank size and the frequency of use.

Which type of system should I purchase?

A septic designer will help you choose the right system to suit your property and budget.

I am not experiencing any problems with my septic system; do I need to have it pumped anyway?

For sure! Regular septic system maintenance is the only way to ensure that your system will continue to function properly.

Can I drive over my septic system?

Do not drive, stack wood, or build any structures on your system.

I use my sink’s garbage disposal on a daily basis, is that ok?

Minimize the use of sink disposal systems; the ground-up food places a great burden on your septic system.

Isn't it cheaper to replace my septic system when it fails, instead of pumping it every 2 years?

No way! Replacing a septic system can cost upwards of five grand. The life of a septic system can be extended with proper maintenance and frequent septic pumping.
