Our team at Clark Septic has been offering comprehensive septic services since 2002, and we’ve encountered many people who don’t understand why routine septic maintenance is so important. For instance, some property owners believe the only required maintenance for a septic system is to get their tank pumped every few years, so they’re blindsided when they experience other issues.

Four Key Reasons to Schedule Routine Septic Maintenance Services

To encourage you to schedule routine septic maintenance for your property, we’d like to go over a few key benefits of our services:

  1. Prevent expensive repairs and disasters. Scheduling septic maintenance gives our team the opportunity to find and repair minor problems before they can escalate and pose major risks. The cost of an annual inspection pales in comparison to the expenses you’ll face if your septic system fails or becomes badly damaged.
  1. Extend the lifespan of your septic system. When property owners schedule regular septic maintenance services, they can expect their systems to last for decades. Getting routine maintenance will keep your system operating efficiently and reliably, whereas neglecting your septic system can result in a reduced lifespan.
  1. Protect the local environment. Failing to schedule regular septic maintenance can result in harm to the nearby ecosystem. For example, a damaged drain field can cause untreated wastewater to leach into nearby water sources, which can pose major health risks to you, your neighbors, and local wildlife.
  1. Maintain compliance. An old or outdated septic system may not meet modern safety regulations and standards. Our septic maintenance team can help you remain compliant with health codes and avoid facing potential fines or other legal penalties.
