Maintenance for a private onsite wastewater treatment system varies based on what type of system your property contains. It can be as simple as pumping your tank on a regular schedule or as complex as monthly maintenance on various components. Regular maintenance prevents premature failure of your system and is required by the Wisconsin DNR, local regulatory agencies, and tank manufacturers. Lynn’s Honeywagon recommends following the schedule set for your system.
For example:
- Septic tanks- Generally, pump and inspect every 3 years (full-time AND seasonal residents)
- Pump tanks, pump systems- Tested and inspected during regular scheduled maintenance
- Drain field components- Inspected during regularly scheduled maintenance
- Tank filters- Cleaned and checked yearly
- Holding tanks- Pumped when the tank alert alarm goes off or at least once per year
- All electrical components including alarms- Checked when tank is pumped
- Troubleshooting- As needed
All Lynn’s Honeywagon employee’s are licensed and trained to perform necessary maintenance and troubleshooting of private onsite wastewater treatment systems.
