DES is required by law to publish guidelines and provide a copy with each approval for construction it issues. For existing systems, the recommendation is that the tank should be pumped at regular intervals (approximately once every 3 years) by a professional experienced with pumping septic systems. A neglected septic tank can become clogged with sludge and cause excess solids to enter the absorption leach field, causing failure.
About the Author: Jon Cardinal
My father started the Andrew J. Foss, Inc. precast concrete company in 1963 at the age of 19. My precast education started at a very young age. He taught me everything I know about creating quality precast concrete products, from septic tanks to concrete headwalls. He also taught me to succeed in business you need to offer an exceptional product and treat your customers as you would expect to be treated. Now, as an owner of the company along with my brother Matthew, we've taken everything we've learned from our father to start the next generation of our family-owned precast concrete company.
