Your septic system is full of dangerous bacteria and could spread disease if it were to leak into the groundwater or a well. This is why it is important that you care for it well, protecting it from damage. While your septic tank is buried underground, that doesn’t mean that it is impossible to damage it. To be able to protect your septic system, you need to know where it is buried. Parking a vehicle on top of the tank could damage the mechanism of your septic tank, causing it to malfunction.
Another important aspect of your septic tank care is to have it inspected every three years. You might not notice potential problems that a trained eye can spot, which will save you money in costly repairs later on. Depending on your usage, you also need to pump your septic tank every five years or so to keep it working.
