A septic tank is an underground wastewater treatment system that separates solids from liquids, allowing effluent to flow into a drain field where it’s naturally filtered by the soil. It relies on bacteria to break down solids, making it a low-maintenance solution for properties without access to municipal sewage.

It depends on usage and tank size—but generally, every 3 to 5 years is recommended for an average household. A professional inspection can provide a more accurate schedule.

Watch for:

1. Slow drains inside the home

2. Gurgling sounds in plumbing

3. Sewage odors near the tank or drain field

4. Wet spots or lush grass above the drain field
