How Often Should I Have Maintenance Performed on My Septic System?
The frequency of septic maintenance can vary depending on several factors, including the size of your household, the amount of wastewater your home generates, and the size of your septic tank. However, as a rule of thumb, Parent Sanitation recommends that most septic systems be inspected at least every one to three years.
Our team will assess the overall health of your septic system and determine whether your tank needs pumping. Generally, septic tanks must be pumped every three to five years, again depending on usage and size. Nevertheless, households with garbage disposals often need more frequent pumping.
If you are interested in a consistent maintenance schedule tailored to your specific needs, please don’t hesitate to contact Parent Sanitation. Our experts are always ready to provide the upkeep your septic system needs to live a full life.
Enhance Your Septic System with Effective Additives
Septic tank additives play a vital role in keeping your system operating at peak efficiency. These additives are specially formulated products that boost the natural breakdown process of the waste. They aid in the decomposition of both organic and non-organic elements and can assist in reducing the buildup of sludge, thus ensuring smooth operation and preventing potential blockages.
At Parent Sanitation, we trust and utilize two effective septic tank additives:
- Wind River Environmental Septic System Treatment is a simple yet powerful solution to the heavy buildup of organic matter in a septic tank. It can easily be administered by pouring it down any drain in your home. For optimal results and to maintain proper bacteria levels, we recommend using this every other month.
- Boost Septic Bacteria Additive is designed to support a thriving population of beneficial bacteria in your septic tank. These bacteria play a crucial role in breaking down organic waste effectively. Due to its concentrated formula, it is recommended that one of our trained experts applies this additive to ensure proper and efficient application.
Incorporating these additives into your regular septic system maintenance plan can greatly enhance the lifespan and functionality of your system. By investing in the care of your septic tank, you not only protect your property and save money in the long run, but also contribute to the environmental sustainability of our community.

Is Septic Maintenance Important in the Quiet Corner?
Septic maintenance is a crucial aspect of homeownership, particularly in northeastern Connecticut. Many homes in our region are in rural areas lacking access to municipal sewer systems. Instead, these homes depend on septic systems for their home’s wastewater treatment. Regularly maintaining these systems is paramount to ensure they function correctly and efficiently.
Our region experiences a broad range of weather conditions, from heavy rains and snow in the cooler months to periods of dryness in the summer. These changing conditions can affect the performance of your septic system. Regular maintenance allows us to monitor and manage how our climate impacts the functionality of your system, helping us prevent system failures and potential damage to your property and our environment.
The unique soil composition and high water table standard in Windham County can also pose challenges for septic systems, such as groundwater contamination if the system fails. Regular septic maintenance can help identify and address potential issues early.
Investing in routine septic maintenance in Windham County is a wise financial decision and an important commitment to the health and sustainability of our broader community.
