Septic care

Maintenance intervals and common questions

A short teaser from the company's published guidance. Answers are quoted from its own FAQ page; intervals come from its Pumping page.

Intervals published by the business

3–5 yrs

Pumping. The Pumping page says it is recommended you have your tank pumped every 3 to 5 years.

3 yrs

Inspection. It says you should have your septic tank inspected at least every 3 years. The FAQ page words this as opening and inspecting the tank every two to three years.

1 yr

Alternative systems. Systems with electrical float switches, pumps, or mechanical components need to be inspected once per year.

4 factors

People in the home, water used, volume of solids in the wastewater, and the size of the tank all influence how often pumping is needed.

How often should I have my septic tank pumped out?

“The intervals vary from home to home. A septic tank should be opened and inspected every two to three years by your septic tank contractor. He will determine whether or not it needs pumping by viewing the condition in the tank.”

Do I need to add bacteria to my septic tank after a pumpout?

“No. The human waste from your body will provide all the bacteria necessary.”

Can I plant trees or shrubbery over my septic tank or drainfield?

“Try not to do this. If the tree or bush has a strong root system, it can choke your drainfield.”

Can a clogged drainfield be repaired by cleaning or the infusion of enzymes?

“Most drainfield failures will need replacement. The only way to evaluate the cause of the problem is an onsite inspection by a registered septic tank contractor. While some advertisers claim enzymes and chemical treatment will revitalize a drainfield, there is no conclusive data to support their long term effectiveness. However, please check with us for your septic requirements.”
