Septic Maintenance Tips:

1. Pumping your tanks every two years, we will clean or exchange your filter at this time
2. Two (or more) tank system this illustration shows why:
   The 2 tank system offers much more settling area than the 2 compartment tank. This will result in less filter cleaning, and possibly longer system life.
3. If you need a mound, check that you are getting at least 12” of sand under the bed. Less than this makes it hard to “rebuild” the mound should it ever fail.
4. Keep your septic tank covers a minimum of 4” above grade, this picture shows a cover at grade.
