The importance of ROUTINE SEPTIC CLEANING
Regular septic tank cleaning is essential to keeping your septic system functioning well. Over time, waste and other materials can build up in your tank, causing it to become clogged and preventing it from working correctly. This can lead to unpleasant odors, backups, and even system failure. We recommend scheduling septic maintenance every 2-5 years, depending on the logistics of your system and the number of occupants in the home. By scheduling regular septic tank cleaning and pumping services with Modern Septic & Sewer, you can prevent these issues and ensure that your septic system continues functioning properly for years.

In septic systems, alternator valves (also called diverter valves) are used to control the flow of effluent (liquid) from septic tanks to drainfields. Their purpose is to alternate the discharge from the septic tank so that only one section of the drainfield is used at a time. This allows the resting field to dry out and recover, preventing oversaturation and extending the overall lifespan of the system. If you are unsure if you have an alternator valve, please reach out to our team for more information or to schedule a team member to perform this service.
If your system has one, cleaning septic filters at least once a year is an essential part of maintaining a healthy and efficient septic system. The filter, located in the outlet of the septic tank, is designed to trap solids and debris that could otherwise flow into the drainfield. Over time, these materials can build up in the filter and restrict the flow of effluent going to the drainfield. This can cause backup in the home or yard if not addressed. By cleaning the filter regularly, homeowners help ensure that only properly treated effluent leaves the tank, allowing the system to operate smoothly and extending its overall lifespan. If you are unsure if you have a filter or how to keep it clean, please reach out to our team for more information or to schedule a team member to perform this service.
