Annual servicing and regular maintenance from an experienced septic tank specialist like Ecodrop Waste Water Solutions is the only way to guarantee and ensure the safety and integrity of your septic tank. Proper maintenance can extend the life of your septic tank adding years of trouble free service.

There are a number of signs and indicators that your septic tank is in need of some servicing and maintenance.

Leaking toilets can saturate a septic tank and drain field in a short period of time causing tanks to fill up, creating wet spots in the yard and system failure.

Septic smells and odours coming from toilets, vent pipes and over the percolation area are usually signs that the system is in need of some maintenance work.

Lush green grass identifying the location of the Percolation area is an indication the system is in the early stage of failure.

Soggy wet spots over the percolation area are a sure sign you are having septic tank problems and should have it serviced sooner rather than later.

It is essential that your septic tank system is regularly serviced and maintained. It should be treated like other appliances in your house that require frequent servicing to maintain safety standards. Maintaining your on-site sewage system is important for the sake of your health and the health of others in your neighbourhood. A poorly-maintained system can contaminate groundwater, and waterways, potentially spreading infection and disease

Septic Tank Maintenance – FAQs

How often should my septic tank be serviced?

You should have your septic tank serviced and inspected by a professional at least once a year. This allows us to monitor the performance of your septic tank and identify any potential problems before they become big safety risks and expensive repair jobs.

What can I do to help maintain my septic tank?

On top of having the system regularly serviced there are certain steps you can take to help maintain the integrity of the system. Don’t flush anything other than toilet paper. Don’t park cars or vans on top of the septic tank or drain field. Don’t pour household chemicals down the drain and don’t use any septic tank additives.

How long should my septic tank last?

Septic tanks can be made from a variety of materials, and each has their own lifespan. On average your septic tank will last up to 20-30 years. With regular maintenance and servicing your system could last anywhere from 40-50 years.
