How often should my septic tank be cleaned out?
What happens if septic tank is not cleaned?

Can I clean my septic tank myself?
Cleaning a septic tank requires more than just elbow grease and DIY knowledge. While the process is challenging, failure to clean your tank correctly could cause serious damage to it or even contaminate your water supply.
