How To Maintain a Septic Tank

Septic System Do’s and Don’ts

Provided by Clark County Public Health, this guide explains how proper operation and maintenance can extend your septic system’s life span. With responsible use and regular care, your septic system can operate trouble-free for 20–30 years.

✅ DO

  • Learn the location of your septic tank, drainfield, and reserve area — keep a sketch with your records.
  • Have your septic tank inspected by a certified O&M specialist as required per CCC 24.17.
  • Keep your septic tank lid accessible for inspections and pumping. Install risers if needed.
  • Maintain detailed records of all repairs, pumpings, inspections, and permits.
  • Conserve water to prevent overloading — stagger laundry days and repair leaks promptly.
  • Divert roof drains, footing drains, and sump pumps away from your system.
  • Contact a professional immediately if you experience issues with your septic system.
  • Obtain a permit from Clark County Public Health (360-397-8428) for all repairs or alterations.
  • Use household cleaners sparingly and follow all label directions.

🚫 DON’T

  • Never enter a septic tank — toxic gases inside can be deadly within minutes.
  • Don’t drive, park, or compact the soil over your system.
  • Don’t plant anything except grass over your drainfield; roots and excess water can cause damage.
  • Don’t dig, build, or pave over the drainfield area.
  • Don’t repair your system without the required permit from Clark County Public Health (360-397-8428).
  • Don’t use septic tank additives — they can harm your system.
  • Don’t flush or drain grease, coffee grounds, cigarettes, diapers, sanitary items, plastics, or chemicals.

“These guys were great. Kurt and the ginger haired guy came out next day after we called. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. They were happy to show us just how full our tank was and they were done in maybe an hour. We plan to use them next time we need services. Thanks guys!

“I had a plugged system. They had me check the baffle. I sent pictures, and they talked me through it, and I resolved the problem over the phone. They said, "we could come out, but we can save you money and help you without coming, and see if that works." It did. No charge!!
