Complete Septic System Maintenance for Main House & Guest House in Orono, MN

2026-07-25 · Wayzata, Hennipen County, MN · Septic System Maintenance

Problem

This large residential property in Orono, MN includes both a main house and a guest house served by separate septic tanks with a shared pump tank and mound system. The main home is serviced by a 1,500-gallon septic tank and a 1,250-gallon septic tank, while the guest house has two 1,000-gallon septic tanks. Both systems discharge into a shared 2,000-gallon pump tank that delivers wastewater to a large mound drainfield. Due to the size and complexity of the system, routine maintenance is essential to maintain proper operation and protect the mound system.

Solution

Minnesota Sewer Pros completed a full maintenance pumping of the entire septic system, including the 1,500-gallon and 1,250-gallon septic tanks serving the main house, the two 1,000-gallon septic tanks serving the guest house, and the shared 2,000-gallon pump tank. Each tank was thoroughly pumped and inspected during service to help ensure the system continues operating efficiently. Regular maintenance of large multi-building septic systems helps protect the pump tank and mound drainfield while reducing the risk of backups and extending the life of the entire septic system.
