As the weather cools and the leaves begin to fall, your septic system faces new challenges. Autumn is the ideal time to prepare for winter and take care of any outstanding maintenance.
Here’s how to get ready:
- Pump your tank before the ground freezes to prevent emergency service during winter
- Inspect for soft spots, foul smells, or standing water that could indicate a malfunction
- Clear away fallen leaves and debris from around the tank and drainfield
- Mark and rope off your drainfield to prevent foot traffic or vehicles from compacting the soil
Regular fall maintenance ensures your system works efficiently and protects your property when temperatures drop.
