Preventative Tips and Good Maintenance for the Home

Sanitary Sewer Septic Drainfield:


  • Pump your septic tank every 3 to 5 years.

  • Know the location of your main line sewer cleanout.

  • Make sure that you have a wrench on hand to remove the main line sewer cleanout cap.

    This will ensure that the sewage mess will stay outside of the home as opposed to inside of the home. Test and confirm that the cap is removable.


  • If your drainfield is maintained properly,

    then it should last about 16 years.


  • Remember that drainfields will only take in a certain amount of water in a 24 hour period of time.

    DON'T overload your system. Spread out your usage to allow absorbtion and evaporation. Fun Fact - Drainfields evaporate 70% of water.


  • Use Bio-One treatment.

    Bio-One treatment has 3 trillion live bacteria that survives on food, fat, grease and oil. This will help maintain your system.
