What Septic Maintenance Means for Your System

Maintenance is key to a long-lasting septic system! We perform inspections that allow us to determine the physical integrity of the tank, measure the depth of sludge and thickness of scum to determine if the tank needs to be pumped, and visually scan inside the system. Our team is trained to identify any potential problems and schedule any needed repairs.

Maintenance for your septic system should mean maintenance for every component of your system! Our maintenance services include evaluating the state of your tank (or tanks), baffles, filters, distribution box, drain field, any pumps, control panels and alarms, lids, lift stations, and inlet pipes. Your equipment needs regular professional cleaning to reduce the risk of clogs and corrosion.

Why Maintenance Matters!

Leach Field: The health of the drain field depends heavily on routine maintenance of other system components. While the leach field itself doesn’t need regular maintenance, lack of maintenance for other parts of the system can cause it to fail. If properly monitored and maintained, a leach field can generally last for fifteen to twenty-five years. Maintenance helps prevent system failure!

Clogs and Leaks: With proper care and maintenance, you can easily prevent clogs! Regular inspections and cleanings can identify potential issues before they become major problems, saving you from costly repairs and disruptions. No more worrying about sewage backing up into your home or yard.

Prevent System Failure: Catching problems early and handling them promptly is crucial to prevent severe damage or complete system failure. Maintenance helps you understand the condition of your tank and other system components, so changes are easier to spot.

Save Money: Repairs and replacements are much more expensive than routine cleaning, especially when you sign up for our maintenance contract. By ignoring cleaning, pumping, and overall maintenance of your septic or aerobic system, you increase the risk of further damage, which can cost thousands of dollars in repairs.

Questions about Septic Maintenance

What maintenance does a septic system require throughout the year?

There are several maintenance tasks a septic tank can benefit from throughout the year, such as:

Inspections between seasons or after very poor weather
Scheduling pumping service before winter
Keeping drainage paths clear of debris
Manage water usage so that it is spread out
Clean any filters if your system has them

How much water is too much for my septic system?

The amount of water your specific septic system can manage depends on the tank’s capacity. However, doing multiple loads of laundry back-to-back, taking long showers, using a lot of water frequently, and running multiple water appliances at once can fill your tank faster than it can drain, pushing wastewater into the drain field or back into your home.

Does Central Texas clay soil cause septic problems?

Yes, clay soil can cause septic problems around Central Texas. High clay content is an issue for septic tanks in the area because it can cause damage and shifting. However, some areas in and around Bastrop County have “sandy loam” soil. This soil is ideal for septic systems because water moves through it at a good pace.
