If you live in Ghana, there’s a good chance you depend on a septic system to handle your home’s wastewater. And if you’re a new septic tank owner, you may not know that your septic system requires a little bit of care to stay in good working order.

The good news is that septic system maintenance does not have to be complicated, expensive, or messy. Keeping up with basic care and maintenance of your septic system will ensure it works properly for many years to come.

Below are some helpful hints on keeping your septic system healthy and working efficiently!

Has Your Septic System been Inspected?

Regular inspections and maintenance will help improve the health of your septic system.

Inspections can help find minor issues such as water leaks which may cause the septic tank to fill more quickly. Getting small issues repaired quickly will help keep them from becoming bigger problems in the future.

Getting your septic tank regularly pumped out is also important.

There are many factors that determine how often the septic tank should be pumped out, including the size of your household, the amount of wastewater generated, and the size of the septic tank. When in doubt, a good rule of thumb is to have your septic tank pumped out every 3 to 5 years.

Another thing to keep in mind is to not drain your hot tub into the septic tank or drain field as large volumes of water can 'drown' your drain field.

Also, the chlorine in the hot tub may kill the bacteria in your septic tank which can cause issues down the road.
