When a septic system is working properly, new wastewater from the house pushes the separated wastewater in the septic tank into the drain-field, which provides additional treatment by allowing the wastewater to trickle through a filtering system composed of perforated pipes or chambers, gravel and soil. Bacteria in the soil also helps to break down the waste. Maintaining a clean system is necessary to ensure you have a safe and sanitary wastewater setup. Septic system pumping guidelines depend on several factors, but generally, a septic tank should be inspected every six years and pumped at least every eight years by a licensed sewage hauler, according to Louisiana law. This timetable can vary significantly based on the number of occupants in the home, tank size, and frequency of use.
