Reliable Septic Tank Maintenance Services

There is no denying that keeping your septic system clear of issues and working efficiently must be a priority. Scheduling professional maintenance will ensure that your septic tank remains reliable and in good condition. How often your septic tank requires a professional service will depend largely on whether it's for residential or commercial use. For commercial and industrial septic tanks, the usage can be significantly higher than residential, meaning more frequent service is required. Speak to the experts at GRH Plumbing about the best maintenance schedule and care plan for your particular system.

Key Maintenance Steps Include:

Septic Tank Inspection: Regular inspections are recommended to check for signs of internal damage, hidden leaks or general operational failure approximately. every 1-3 years.

Septic Tank Pumping / De Sludging: Depending on the size of the tank and volume of use septic tanks should be professionally pumped every 3 to 5 years. Pumping removes solids and sludge that can build up over time, impacting the system's function

Protect the Drain field: The drain field or leach field helps filter out the liquid waste, its imperative it be kept clear of any obstructions, including vehicles parking or driving over it. Structure can cause the soil to compact, reducing its ability to filter wastewater.

Water Usage:Try to avoid heavy water usage as this can overload the system. Where possible, spread out water-intensive tasks throughout the day.

Proper Waste Disposal: Avoid putting non-biodegradable items such as wipes in the toilet or oils and food scraps down your drains. These items are known to disrupt the balance of bacteria that break down solids in the tank.

Harmful Chemicals: Chemicals such as bleach, drain cleaners, and antibacterial soaps can kill the beneficial bacteria in the septic tank.

Adequate Tank Drainage: Keep the ground around your septic tank and the drain field sloped so that water can't pool and flood the system.
