Did you know a typical septic tank needs to be pumped every 3 – 5 years on average? Properly caring for a septic system can be challenging if you’ve never owned a septic system before. Over 35% of homes and businesses in Rhode Island are served by on-site wastewater treatment (septic) systems - it’s important for homeowners 🏘️ and businesses 🏢 alike to learn how to properly use and maintain their septic system.
