How do you maintain your septic tank?
Septic tanks require very little maintenance. You can dose your septic tank with a bacteria treatment once a month with Rid-X or a similar brand, but this is not vital. If you do use a bacteria treatment, you will only need to have your septic tank pumped out every five years, instead of every one or two years. You should not flush things like tampons or sanitary wipes, and you should only use biodegradable toilet paper, because the bacteria cannot break these things down and this will also cause the septic tank to get full faster. The only other things to remember are to keep the area above your septic tank and its drain field grassy. Do not allow plants with large root systems to grow there, or your septic system will be damaged. Do not position anything heavy over the septic system either - septic tanks have been completely broken due to people parking their cars over them.

How do you know if you have a septic tank?
If you are in a city, it is unlikely you have a septic system. Country, you probably do. Most places have a charge for sewer on the water bill. If you are on a well, you have a septic. When it is dry in the summer, the grass over the lateral field will be green longer than the rest of the yard. Look to see where the main drain leaves the house. If it is towards the street you are on a sewer, if towards the side or back yard, it is most likely a septic.
Can you build a deck over a septic field?
Septic drainfields and an equal sized replacement area should ideally be located in an area that receives little or no surface disturbance. For example they can't be under driveways, or in a pasture where the ground might be compacted by livestock or farm machinery. Under a lawn or garden is OK because the traffic is light. A few experts think that eating vegetables from a garden over a septic drainfield garden might be a bad idea because of the possibility of the produce extracting germs from the septic system. This is impossible, but there is a slim chance of the drainfield contaminating the vegetables if the drainfield is failed with sewage on the ground. Failed drainfields are obvious with smells and wetness all the time at the surface but some people are too conservative to chance this. Every local county health district or department has rules which explain horizontal and vertical setbacks allowed between all septic components and buildings, water lines, property lines, wells and even certain species of trees. Usually decks are allowed over drainfields as long as the piers of the deck are at least two feet from the drainfield trenches, and as long as the deck footings do not support a roof. If the deck has a roof the setback is usually ten feet, but always check with your local health department.

What septic system is most commomly used?
The gravity system , where waste settles in to a tank, usually of concrete that holds 400-600 gallons. There is a pipe near the top for the black water to trickle out of to a septic field, which is basically 200-300 feet of pipe with small holes to allow the water to leak out into the ground over a large area. The rest of the solid waste is aerobically treated by microbes and worms and totally digested in the perfect system.
