Failing septic systems can expose your family, your community and the environment to disease-causing sewage
Many factors can cause a septic system to fail before the end of its lifetime:
POOR MAINTENANCE
The #1 reason for early septic system failure is improper maintenance... when a system is neglected and not regularly pumped or inspected, solids can accumulate in the tank and flow into the soil - potentially clogging it beyond repair

USING TOO MUCH WATER
Another common reason for failure is using more water than the soil can absorb - this can result in sewage backing into drains or even surfacing in your yardCLICK FOR A WATER USAGE CHART
CHEMICALS & TOXINS
Your septic system is a "biological ecosystem" that digests and treats waste - chemicals, cleansers, caustic drain openers, oil, pesticides, antifreeze, and paint should never be put down the drainIMPROPER DESIGN
An improperly designed septic system is doomed from the start - failure usually occurs because the system is inadequately sized, installed in poor soils or not properly constructed.There are many steps that you can take to ensure a properly sited, correctly installed & regularly maintained septic system - done properly, your system should last 25+ years
