Plumbing
Have the septic tank pumped out
Every 3 years, in September.
What to do
Book a pump-out, and have the sludge depth checked while the lid is off.
Why it matters
A tank that overfills pushes solids into the field, and a ruined field costs many times what pumping does.
Where this comes from
CMHC CE 47 — check the sludge and scum in fall, "tanks should be pumped out at least once every" few years depending on household size.
Catch it while it’s still maintenance.
