Cleaning your septic tank is just like changing the oil in your car. Sure, your car can run for 50,000 miles without an oil change but if you change it every 3,000 miles like you're supposed to, the engine will last a much longer time. The septic tank acts as a filter for your finger system, catching the solids such as grease, paper, and other products. The baffles inside the tank direct the flow and capture the solids, not allowing them to float out of the tank and clog up the system and the soil. Thus, this buildup must be removed every so often so that you can get 30 to 50 years out of your system.
