The first step in maintaining a drain field is inspecting it for any signs of wear or damage. If any problems are found, they should be addressed immediately to avoid further damage or costly repairs. Additionally, regular cleaning of the system should be conducted using a high-pressure water jetting machine. This will help remove built up sludge and debris which could cause blockages if left unchecked.
In addition to cleaning the system, it’s also important to check for any tree roots which may have grown into the pipes and caused them to crack or break down over time. If you find these, they should be carefully cut away with specialized tools before they can cause more damage. Finally, the soil around the drain field should also be monitored for changes in elevation which could indicate subsidence or other potential issues that need addressing quickly before further damage occurs.
By following these simple steps on a regular basis, you’ll keep your septic system running at its best and avoid costly repairs down the line due to neglectful drainage maintenance!
