Myth: Septic tanks do not need routine maintenance.
Fact:
Most septic tanks require annual maintenance and inspections, with
pumping needed every 1-3 years depending on septic tank size and the
number of people using it. Regular maintenance is necessary to keep your
septic tank working at premium utility and to raise the potential for a
longer system lifespan. It can also prevent spending thousands of
dollars for unnecessary septic tank repairs and replacements.
