Problem

This residential septic system in Long Lake, MN is maintained on a preventative six-month service schedule to help keep the system operating efficiently. The system includes an effluent filter installed in the second septic tank, which gradually collects solids over time. If the filter is not cleaned regularly, wastewater flow can become restricted, increasing the risk of backups, pump issues, or unnecessary stress on the drainfield.

Solution

Minnesota Sewer Pros performed the customer's scheduled six-month maintenance by removing and thoroughly cleaning the effluent filter located in the second septic tank. After cleaning, the filter was reinstalled and the septic system was inspected to verify proper operation. Regular effluent filter maintenance is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your septic system, extend its lifespan, and help prevent costly repairs.
