The 3 primary ways to prolong the life of a septic system are:
- Proper Use – Avoid flushing or rinsing things down the drain that can clog the unit or disposal field
- Maintain and Inspect the System – Schedule professional septic system pumping as needed (usually 3-5 years) and plan for annual inspection,
- Obtain Quality Septic Systems Parts – Ask your precast concrete manufacturer for quality replacement parts, such as distribution boxes, tank covers, pumps for septic systems, holding tanks, dosing tanks, etc.
