SEPTIC SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
WE CAN HELP!
The U.S Government Department of Health, Education, and Welfare Public Health Service says, "A septic
tank system will serve a home satisfactorily only if it is properly designed, installed, and adequately
maintained. Even a good system which does not have proper care and attention may become a nuisance,
and burdensome expense."
Septic system maintenance means two simple things. First, sludge that accumulates in the bottom of the
tank must be pumped out periodically. How frequently depends on the size of the tank, the use it gets and
the condition of the system. There is no additive that you can put in the tank that will deal with the sludge. IT
MUST BE PUMPED OUT. If not pumped out it will eventually overflow into the soil absorption area. This will
clog the system and it will need to be rejuvenated or replaced at enormous expense and inconvenience.
The second part of the septic system maintenance involves the bacteria necessary for solids digestion. If
bacteria killing products are used in the home, the bacteria must be replenished. If the bacteria are not
replenished, the septic system will fill up with solid material and overflow into the soil absorption area. This
will clog the system and it will have to be rejuvenated or replaced.
Your septic tank could be overflowing solid material into the soil RIGHT NOW and you won't even know it
until it blocks the soil so badly that no more drainage is possible. This blockage takes varying periods of
time depending of soil structure. This is fact: a neglected system WILL get blocked; it WILL overflow; it WILL
have an obnoxious odor; it WILL contaminate and pollute. It will probably have to be replaced or
rejuvenated. The first septic system "emergency" usually marks the beginning of the end. Repair costs vary
from $1200 to $25,000.
