When Should You Plan Septic Tank Emptying
You can plan septic tank emptying in Lacolle or Saint-Stanislas-de-Kostka at least once every two years and based on how your system is used and the signs observed around the property. Even when a system appears to be working normally, sludge and accumulated materials must be removed at the right time to avoid overloading the tank and to protect the septic field. Regular service also helps limit odours, backups and problems that can become costlier when maintenance is delayed.
Certain signs may indicate that it is time to plan service, including:
persistent odours near the tank or drains
slower drainage in sinks, toilets or showers
unusually wet ground near the septic system
a change in property use, such as more frequent or seasonal occupancy
A primary residence, cottage, farm, business or industrial facility does not always have the same needs. This is why service must take into account access to the tank, the frequency of use, the general condition of the system and the site’s specific requirements.
When in doubt, it is better to have the situation checked before a sanitation issue becomes worse.

Maintain Your Septic Tank with Our Professional Tips
Septic tanks collect residual organic matter from toilets, sinks, showers and other areas of a home. To preserve its condition and reduce the risk of blockages, certain habits can make a difference:
Follow the law regarding the emptying frequency for your septic tank: once every two years.
Keep the amount of grease and cooking oil sent into the septic tank to a minimum.
Avoid using chemical cleaning products that may end up in the septic tank.
Do not use additives intended to reduce sludge.
Have a prefilter installed to protect your septic field.
Clean the prefilter every six months to avoid blockages.
Never use a garbage disposal in sinks.
Use very thin toilet paper.
Limit and space out your water consumption, including baths, showers and household appliance use.
Never put tampons, condoms, Q-Tips, wet wipes, diapers, cat litter or other non-biodegradable items into your septic tank.
Keep the septic tank covers accessible at all times, with no soil, patio, snow or other obstacle blocking them.
Good Winter Practices
Before winter sets in:
Check that the level in the tank is below the inlet and outlet pipes.
Clean the prefilter.
Flush the toilet to make sure everything flows properly into the septic tank.
Mark the covers with stakes.
Make any necessary repairs, such as plumbing leaks.
Do not remove snow from the surface of the septic tank or leaching field.
