Although septic tanks require less maintenance, this certainly does not mean they hardly require any at all. If you neglect you septic tank system maintenance, some of the following problems may arise for you;

• Drains may become blocked due to excessive amounts of cooking oils and grease blocking the inlet drains. As oil and grease is heavier than water it makes both substances hard to degrade. In turn this can cause bad smells and can cause difficulty when it comes to the periodic emptying required.
• The flushing of sanitary and hygiene products as well as cigarettes, cotton buds and so on can quickly fill or completely block a septic tank.
• If you use a garbage disposal then your septic tank system may rapidly get clogged with food.
• Certain chemicals entering the septic tank system can cause erosion and the likes. Chemicals such as; bleach, pesticide, paints, solvents etc…
• Tree roots can grow over the tanks and cause major disruptions with the operation of the system.
• Extreme rain fall, rapid snowmelt or flooding can prevent a drain fields from working as it should and can in some cases cause it to flow back up which causes major interference to its usual operation.
