Your septic system quietly does a lot of heavy lifting every day, managing wastewater and protecting your home’s health and the environment. But like any hardworking system, it needs routine care to stay in top form. That’s where Canadian Sanitation’s Annual Septic Maintenance Program comes in.
Our comprehensive program is designed to keep your septic system operating smoothly year after year—catching small problems early, reducing the risk of breakdowns, and helping you avoid costly emergency repairs. Here’s what you can expect when you sign up.
Why Annual Septic Maintenance Is Important
Your septic system isn’t something you should wait to think about until there’s a problem. Regular maintenance plays a key role in extending the life of your system, maintaining performance, and ensuring compliance with health and environmental standards. It also means avoiding surprise failures and backups, which can result in thousands of dollars in damage.
With our Annual Septic Maintenance Program, you get proactive care that can help prevent backups, surface effluent, and drain field issues—saving time, stress, and money down the road.
What’s Included in Our Annual Septic Maintenance Program
Step 1: Full Septic System Inspection
The first cornerstone of an Annual Septic Maintenance Program with Canadian Sanitation is a complete inspection of your septic system. One of our certified technicians will:
- Visually examine your septic tank and drain field
- Check sludge and scum levels
- Inspect effluent filters and internal baffles
- Look for any signs of backups or drainage issues
- Test pumps and electrical components (if present)
This thorough check-up is your system’s health snapshot for the year—and often reveals issues before they become full-blown problems.
Step 2: System Performance Evaluation
After inspection, we take a deeper look at how your system is performing as a whole. This includes assessing your tank size relative to household usage, reviewing past maintenance, and evaluating the condition of the drain field. Based on the results, we’ll make tailored recommendations—like whether a pump-out is needed or if a component may require future service—so you can plan and budget for future maintenance and repairs.
Step 3: Effluent Filter Cleaning
Effluent filters play a crucial role in keeping solids from entering your drain field—but they can get clogged over time. As part of the Annual Septic Maintenance Program, we’ll remove, clean, and reinstall the effluent filter to ensure proper flow and protect your system’s functionality and longevity.
Step 4: Detailed Maintenance Report
Knowledge is power—especially when it comes to your septic system. After every service, you’ll receive a detailed report that includes:
- Notes and photos from the inspection
- Any recommended repairs or maintenance
- Documentation, which is useful for compliance with local agencies
- A clear picture of your septic system’s current condition and next steps
This report serves as a valuable reference, informing future maintenance, supporting real estate transactions if you decide to sell, and keeping your system’s history organized.
