- Monitor water usage: Be mindful of water usage during heavy rainfall. You should limit how much water you add to the system by reducing laundry, long showers or running your dishwasher.
- Schedule routine maintenance: Septic maintenance includes inspecting your entire system every 1-3 years and pumping the tank every 2-3 years. The frequency for pumping your septic tank depends on the tank size, number of people in your household, the water habits and use, if a garbage disposal is used, and the number of solids accumulated in the tank.
- Manage rainfall: Install gutters and downspouts to direct rainwater away from your drainfield. You can also install a rain barrel that will catch excess rain and reduce the risk for flooding.
