Over time, solids accumulate in the tank, leading to clogs, backups, and potential environmental hazards. Cleaning every 3 to 5 years is recommended by experts to prevent issues, ensure proper wastewater treatment, and extend the system's lifespan. Cleaning neglect can lead to costly repairs and issues with contamination. For more information, please visit Southwest Environmental Septic Service.
