Keeping a regular maintenance schedule is essential for a healthy septic system. Routine care prevents sluggish performance and helps you avoid costly repairs down the road.
What We Check and Why It Matters
Here are the maintenance tasks we perform and how they protect your system:
- Visual and Odor Inspection:
We examine all components of your system to confirm everything is functioning correctly, not just one part.
- Effluent Filter Cleaning:
We remove and clean the effluent filter regularly to prevent backups in your home and protect the drain field.
- Air Filter Service (Lift Station/Compressors):
We clean or replace air filters. Compressor filters should be replaced at least once a year to maintain performance.
- Pump, Float, and Load Testing.
We test sewage pumps and floats, and perform a load test to estimate pump life so you can budget for replacement before failure.
- Tank/Component Pumping Assessment:
We determine whether tanks or other components need pumping. Delaying pumping can damage the drain field—an extremely expensive repair.
- Drain Field/Pressure Bed Inspection:
We visually inspect for ponding, stress, or other warning signs.
- Alarm and Control Panel Check:
We verify alarms and panel functions to catch issues since the last visit. It’s common to find controls set to “silent”, which hides problems.
