How Often Should You Inspect Your Septic System?

The short answer is every two to three years. However, there are factors to consider that help determine your next appointment. Homeowners often make the mistake of neglecting regular maintenance unless there’s a problem, such as toilet backups or slow drains. If you don’t act quickly, minor issues can become more pronounced, causing devastating damage. When buying a new home, ensure the realtor has a trusted septic company on hand for inspections before signing any agreement.

How Often Should a Septic Tank Be Pumped?

Our contractors use innovative equipment and proven strategies to enhance the quality of service, so your system can run at high performance until the next inspection. Industry experts recommend septic tank pumping should be done annually or every two years, but several factors must be considered. These include system size, number of household members, and what goes down your toilet and drains. We can assess these factors to ensure we design a maintenance plan suited for your waste management system.
