The Key to Longevity and Optimal Functionality

Proper maintenance of a septic system is crucial to ensure its longevity and optimal functionality. At Oxford Septic Services, we provide comprehensive septic system maintenance services that keep your system operating at peak performance.

Regular septic system maintenance involves a range of activities. These include septic tank pumping, which should ideally occur every 2-5 years, depending on usage and tank size. Pumping removes the accumulated solid waste, ensuring that it doesn’t overflow into the drain field and cause significant damage.

Septic system maintenance also involves regular inspection of the system. This is critical to catch any issues early before they turn into significant, costly problems. For example, an inspection may reveal cracks in the tank, leaks, or signs of a failing drain field, which can be addressed promptly to prevent further damage.

The maintenance of the drain field or leach field is another essential component. It requires making sure that there are no heavy objects, such as vehicles, placed on it to prevent soil compaction and damage to the underlying pipes. Additionally, it's recommended to plant only grass over the drain field to avoid root intrusion from larger plants or trees.

Regular maintenance also involves mindful usage of the system. This includes avoiding flushing non-biodegradable items down the drain and minimizing the use of harsh chemicals that can upset the balance of beneficial bacteria in the system.
