Regular septic tank maintenance is crucial to avoid backups and costly repairs. Most residential systems should be cleaned every 3–5 years, but smaller tanks or larger households may need service every 1–2 years. If your home uses a garbage disposal or has high water usage, annual cleanings are recommended. It’s also wise to schedule a cleaning after hosting large gatherings or extended guest stays.
