When to Know It's Time for Septic System Maintenance
Experts say you should have your system pumped every one to two years, but several factors should be considered when deciding how often your septic tank needs to be serviced. These include:
- Number of people in your household
- Size of your tank and property
- Amount of usage from garbage disposal, laundry, and more
- Age of the system
If you spot signs of a septic problem like slow drains, gurgling pipes, or sewage backups, call Wind River Environmental immediately for expert inspection and service. We'll quickly address the issue and help establish a proper septic maintenance plan for the future.
Our 3-Step Septic Tank Maintenance Plan
Septic Tank Pumping
The first step we take is pumping your septic tank or cesspool to remove all the sludge and debris that has accumulated over time. We’ll also inspect the tank for any potential issues or necessary repairs.
Bacterial Additive Products
Following this, we'll utilize our proven additives. First up, our Septic System Treatment, a bacterial additive product that counteracts the harmful effects of household cleaning products on your septic system's necessary bacteria – one quart every other month is usually all you need.
We also add our Boost, a solution of enzymes that help break down organic waste such as food products and grease. It is essentially a shock treatment for your septic tank and, true to its name, will give your tank the bacteria boost it needs to break down solids.
Septic System Filter Cleaning
Lastly, we'll clean out your septic system's filter to ensure it functions properly and protects your leach field from any potential clogs or issues. If you have a cesspool – rather than a septic system –a filter is not an option, so it’s even more important to follow the first two steps in maintaining a healthy septic system.

“The technician was very helpful and gave me several ‘pointers’ about what we could do to help get the most out of our septic system.”- Stephen F.

John Gilles performed our septic pump on 10/10/25. After the pump was completed, he asked me to flush each toilet a few times to make sure things were looking good. He also gave me advice on how to tell the tank is full and to prevent issues, since we should have had it pumped sooner than we did. He did a great job putting the dirt back afterwards since he had to dig to get to the tank. He was funny too! Great service, would be glad to have him again. By the way, the new online ordering system is much better. I'm glad it pulls details in from past orders now so I no longer have to re-enter them manually. Much quicker, thank you for that improvement!- Alicia Lacroix

I spoke to the technician who pumped my tank Steve S and he was very personable and knowledgeable. My wife was watching Steve S cover hole that he dug up to pump my septic tank, and said that person really takes pride in his work because of the care he took to make it look natural again. I went out and told Steve my wifes comments because people seem to only hear the bad comments.- randy l
