If your home uses a septic tank, proper maintenance should never be neglected. Quite simply, if you ignore your septic system, you could put your home in serious trouble. As the team at B Sales Trucking, Excavation, Pumping & Plumbing Services in Makawao, HI, explains, there are several good reasons why you should never forget about your septic tank.

Here a few of the many reasons septic maintenance is essential: 

  • Pump Regularly: Over time, sludge and scum build up in your septic tank, and as a result, regularly pumping your tank is required for it to continue functioning properly. Doing so allows your system to safely and effectively dispose of wastewater. In general, it is recommended for you to pump your septic tank at least every three to five years. Homes with a garbage disposal should pump more frequently. 
  • septic tankKeep Your Home Safe: Failure to properly maintain your septic tank can create serious problems for your home. First of all, your home will become a much less pleasant place to live as sewage smells pervade the inside of your house. An improperly maintained septic system can also result in backups when you flush the toilet or take a shower. If these problems continue, your failing septic tank could spread diseases to your family and the local environment.
  • Save Money: Finally, routinely pumping your septic tank will save you quite a bit of money. While the few hundred dollars you spend to pump your system or conduct a maintenance inspection may seem inconvenient, these costs are much less than the tens of thousands of dollars it can cost if you need to replace your septic system entirely.
