Prevent Septic System Problems
The Lifespan of a Septic Tank depends largely on the quality of maintenance that is provided. How you maintain the tank and drain field can have a big impact on how it functions and how long it keeps operating effectively. You can Prevent Septic System Problems by following the advice of a MN Licensed Septic Professional like Custom Septic, Inc. (CSI). An Annual Septic Inspection provides a great snapshot of any minor problems that need to be addressed before they become major. Your sewage treatment expert will also be able to let you know when its time to schedule a Septic Tank Cleaning.
Your Sewage Equals Your Responsibility
Always keep in mind that it is the homeowner’s responsibility to keep the Septic Tank and Drainfield working safely and effectively. Ask your Minnesota Licensed Septic Professional about current Sewage Treatment Regulations in your area. Certain factors can trigger a Septic Compliance Inspection to make sure that everything is functioning properly and up to current Septic Code Regulations.
