Maintenance is key when you have a septic system to care for! Even though maintenance is often overlooked, it’s the number one way to prevent repairs. A well-maintained septic system is a healthy, reliable system—one that won’t surprise you with costly breakdowns.
What’s Included in a Professional Maintenance Check-Up
There are several key steps involved in proper septic maintenance. These are the exact steps that Canadian Septic Inc. performs to ensure your system continues running smoothly and efficiently.
- Visual and Odour Inspection: Examine all system components to ensure everything is functioning correctly, not just one part.
- Effluent Filter Cleaning: Remove and clean the effluent filter, which prevents solids from clogging the drain field. Regular cleaning avoids household backups.
- Air Filter Service: Clean or replace air filters in air compressors at least once a year.
- Pump and Float Test: Conduct test runs on sewage pumps and floats, including a load test to determine pump health and life expectancy. This helps you plan for replacements in advance and avoid unexpected costs.
- Tank and Component Check: Determine if the tanks or components need pumping. Timely pumping prevents damage to the drain field—one of the most expensive repairs to avoid.
- Field Inspection: Visually inspect the septic field for ponding, leaks, or any signs of trouble.
- Alarm and Panel Check: Test the alarm and control panel to detect any malfunctions since the last service visit.
