As a homeowner, you’re faced with the additional responsibility of septic tank maintenance. A properly installed septic system works beautifully and can last for 20 years of more. But to ensure it works well for years to come, there are a few things you need to know.

• Alaska is unique. Unlike in warmer states, the cool temperatures of Alaska can prevent bacteria from growing. This same bacteria helps break down sludge, which means, over time, your septic plumbing sludge will build up and will need regular draining.
• Schedule an annual cleaning. To keep your septic tank from clogging your field or your drains, clean your septic tank annually in the spring, summer, or early far.
• Plan a professional septic inspection. A professional contractor like Bigfoot Pumping & Thawing is needed to perform a thorough inspection of your septic tank plumbing. An inspection ensures that your entire system including your pipes, tees, and baffles are in working order.
