As a homeowner, you should be familiar with your septic system. While it might not be the aspect of your home that you find the most interesting or exciting, it is essential that the septic system functions properly. If it doesn’t, you will quickly notice the problem.
Your septic system should be protected from damage. You don’t want to drive vehicles over where it is located or park them there. You should also make sure any digging in your backyard isn’t going to be in the area where the septic system is located.
If you notice that the ground often has puddles on it where the septic system is located, that could be an indication that there is an issue with the drainage there.
Make sure your system is pumped and inspected regularly. The frequency will depend on the size of your tank and your family, but a professional could give you a general idea of how often it might be necessary.
