COMMON SIGNS YOU NEED SEPTIC TANK SERVICE
MAINTENANCE TIPS & BEST PRACTICES
Keep an eye out for these red flags that indicate your septic system needs professional attention:
-
Slow drains, toilets or sinks across your property
-
Foul odours around the tank area or drain field
-
Unusually lush or soggy patches of grass above the septic drain field
-
Sewage backing up into fixtures or visible pooling near your system
-
It’s been more than 2–3 years since the last service (for Alberta homes, inspection every 1-3 years and pumping every 2-5 years is generally recommended).

To extend the life of your septic system and avoid costly repairs, follow these recommendations:
-
Keep heavy equipment or vehicles off your drain field – excessive weight can damage the pipes and soil absorption.
-
Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items (such as wipes, sanitary products, grease, and oil) or pouring chemicals down drains – these disrupt the system’s natural breakdown process.
-
Conserve water where possible — high water usage can overload your system and shorten the time between pumpings.
-
Have your system inspected and pumped regularly — neglecting maintenance can lead to system failure, environmental hazards, and increased expense.
