Septic System Maintenance for New Hampshire, NH and Maine, ME

Most homeowners take the simple act of using water in their home for granted. It is not until the water does not go down the drain or surfaces in the yard, that it is realized there is a problem. By the time onsite septic system problems become noticeable, they may already be a threat to public health and the environment.

Regular septic system maintenance and inspections can not only help avoid backups and extend the life of your system, but also protect the water quality of our drinking water, streams, lakes and ponds.

We recommend the following septic system maintenance steps:

Regarding septic system maintenance, we also recommend your septic tank be serviced every one to two years. However dwellings with family members of 3 or more should service their system annually. If you have a garbage disposal and use it more than sparingly, then your system should be pumped mandatory on a yearly basis. Older homes with small older systems may require pumping more frequently.
