The secret to keeping your septic system working efficiently is to have your septic system checked and maintained regularly. Sludge builds up over time and must be cleaned and pumped out on a regular basis. If your septic system is not properly cleaned, pumped and maintained, it has the potential to cause a backup in your soil treatment area.
Before hosting a large party, have the septic tank pumped out, especially if it has been a while since it has been done. This will help prevent an accident as well as avoiding inadvertently overloading the system.
Waiting too long to clean a septic tank can result in more damage than just a sewage backup into your home. The inside of the tank can corrode or the leach field can become polluted.
If the absorption field is saturated, pumping the septic tank will only offer temporary relief from the problem. The leach field and septic system need to be inspected to determine the cause of the problems so that the proper steps can be taken to correct them.
In general, there are three issues that create problems with the leach field of your septic system: the septic tank needs has overfilled and needs to be pumped, a pipe is blocked causing a backup of effluent, or the drainage field is clogged.
For added protection to your drain field, as well as providing peace of mind, your septic system may benefit by installing a filter to the outlet tee in order to reduce the amount of suspended solids leaving the tank.
