If the system is functioning normally, treatment can be part of a monthly routine, but start with records, rules, and service history.
What should I stop flushing first?
Stop wipes, paper towels, hygiene products, grease, and anything not designed for septic systems.
How do I know when to pump?
Use the inspection report, service records, household size, and professional guidance.
Does Maintane replace an inspection?
