A holding tank merely holds sewage; it does not leach away water/liquid into the ground as a septic system does. Then the sewage must be pumped out by Biffs Septic and sent to a municipal treatment system. As you can imagine, because holding tanks do not process sewage, they need to be serviced much more frequently than septic tanks.

The best thing you can do to make your home’s septic system last is regular maintenance and pumping of your septic tank. After that, you should make sure that nothing goes down your drains that clog the system or lower its efficiency.  Paints, oils, fats, garbage and harmful chemicals should all be avoided because they kill the “good bacteria” that breaks down the solid waste in your septic system.

If freezing is an issue with the tank during the winter months, make sure you cover it with mulch and/or straw bales to protect it during the colder months. If you plan on opening the cabin during the Holiday season, this is particularly important to ensure it won't be frozen and ready for use.

1 - Sludge at the bottom of your tank must be pumped out on a regular basis. If you do not remove the build-up of sludge, it will overflow into your other compartment and eventually into the pump system. This will cause a major clog in the system.

2 - If bacteria-killing products (including bleach, disinfectants, drain openers, detergents, etc.) are used, the bacteria must be replenished in order to avoid the disastrous build-up and overflow of solids.

Avoid wipes (even "flushable" ones), grease, feminine products, paper towels, and harsh chemicals. These can all damage your systems.

Yes! We can help you keep track so you don't have to. We can also arrange a scheduled pump out based on your necessity.
