As summer winds down and fall approaches, it’s the perfect time to give your septic system some attention. Neglecting seasonal maintenance can lead to serious problems like backups, foul odors, and even total system failure. A little effort now can prevent costly repairs later and help your system transition into colder months without trouble.
Use this checklist to keep your system running smoothly:
- Schedule a professional pumping if it’s been 3–5 years since your last one
- Inspect the tank and drainfield for soggy patches, strong odors, or unusually green grass that could indicate a leak or overflow
- Spread out water-heavy chores like laundry and long showers to prevent overwhelming the system
- Clear away overgrowth and debris near the tank and drainfield to allow proper ventilation and easy access for service
By checking off these items, you can avoid headaches later in the year and keep your household running smoothly.
