Septic Compass is a free service that connects homeowners with licensed local septic companies. We are not a contractor and do not perform septic work.
Pump the tank every 3 to 5 years, spread out water use, fix leaks and running toilets, and only flush the three P's. Keep vehicles and structures off the drain field and divert roof and surface water away from it. Keep a record of every pump-out and inspection.
