Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

DIY is not recommended due to safety and technical requirements. Hire professionals for accurate diagnosis and repair.

Although cesspits may be necessary depending on your main sewage system access or nearby soil quality, they carry a few drawbacks. Cesspools require regular emptying and have relatively high maintenance and pumping costs. Certain areas also disallow the use of cesspools and may require you to cover the cost of existing cesspools to be converted into septic tanks.

Septic drain fields should be at least 10 feet from the property line, though exact requirements vary by location. Some areas may require further distances, such as 25 feet or more, depending on soil conditions and local health regulations. This extension ensures proper wastewater absorption and prevents contamination of neighboring homes.

Adding a thin layer of dirt over a septic drain field is fine, especially if soil erosion has occurred. However, adding too much dirt can compact the soil, reducing the drain field’s ability to absorb and filter wastewater properly. Avoid using heavy clay soil, as it can prevent proper drainage. Instead, use a light layer of topsoil and plant grass to help with soil stability.

Your septic tank can last up to 30 years if it’s well-maintained. In addition to scheduling routine inspections and pumping, you may be able to increase your septic system’s life span by reducing how much wastewater you put through it. It also helps to keep your drain field in good shape by not driving on it and making sure it’s free of obstructions in case you need to access the tank or pipes.
