Maintaining your septic system is as important as routine maintenance on your vehicle. To ensure longevity and proper functioning of your septic system, it is recommended you have your system serviced on a regular basis (every 3–5 years).

By pumping, you are removing the sludge which builds up in the tank before it reaches your drainfield. This also reduces the strength of hydrogen sulfide that builds in the open air space of a septic tank.

Keep in mind that a septic tank and drainfield are located underground; therefore the sod and some landscaping may be disturbed in the area of the system.

When purchasing a new home, it is important for you to schedule a home inspection. You need to make sure your home inspection includes the septic system. During this septic services inspection, Martin Septic will locate and pump the septic tanks (yes some properties can have more than 1!) to perform inspection of the tank looking for any signs of deterioration or possible corrosion.

We also check to make sure the tank is structurally sound and water tight. The tank size, type of tank (concrete, fiberglass or poly), and integrity of tank will be noted on the inspection form. Also noted will be whether the tank is baffled and outlet filter or deflection device is present.

The pumping portion of the inspection can be waived by the customer; however, without pumping, the technician cannot attest as to whether the tank can be certified.

Once the tank is pumped, the technician will begin inspecting the drainfield. The technician will run water to the drainfield from the outlet end of the septic tank for approximately 20-30 minutes to ensure the drainfield is accepting water and functioning properly at the time of the inspection. According to the EPA, the life expectancy of a drainfield is approximately 17 years.

Picture in your mind a sponge and the purpose of a sponge is to absorb water. Once the sponge is saturated, there is no place for the water to go. A drainfield works the same way, once saturated it will begin backing up into the home. The technician will note drainfield material/type.
