A septic system must be properly maintained in order to work correctly and adequately treat and dispose of domestic wastewater. Here are some general recommendations for regular septic system maintenance:

• Observe the system: If any concerns are found, such as water pooling or unpleasant odours, look for any obvious symptoms of trouble and call a specialist.
• Check the septic tank: Have the tank professionally drained and inspected every 3-5 years, or more often if the system is put to heavy use.
• Conserve Water: Reduce the amount of wastewater that needs to be treated by the septic system by conserving water and using it wisely.
• Use biodegradable products: Steer clear of chemicals and other items that won’t decompose naturally because they could damage your septic system.
• Keep records: Document all septic system inspections, pumping’s, and maintenance procedures.

It is crucial to adhere to the precise instructions and advice given by the manufacturer or a specialist while maintaining your unique septic system. Additionally, it is crucial to adhere to any local laws or policies governing septic systems.
