Skipping regular septic tank cleaning leads to serious and expensive problems. When solids accumulate beyond 33% of your tank’s capacity, they can flow into your drainfield and clog the soil permanently. This often requires complete drainfield replacement, which costs $15,000-$25,000 or more.
Before reaching that point, you’ll likely experience sewage backups in your home, foul odors that make your yard unusable, and soggy areas around your drainfield. The Illinois Department of Public Health can also issue fines for malfunctioning septic systems that pose health risks.
