FAQ
Questions new homeowners ask in the first month.
Do I need septic treatment immediately?
If the system is functioning normally, treatment can be part of a monthly defense rhythm, 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?
No. Maintane reinforces monthly tank defense and works alongside inspection or pumping.
