Prepare your septic and sewer systems for fall and winter by insulating components, managing water flow, and clearing surrounding ground before freezing temperatures begin. freezing temperatures begin.

Fall Preparation Tasks

  1. Stop cutting grass: Let the grass grow tall over your drain field in late summer and fall to trap snow and provide a natural frost barrier.
  2. Add extra insulation: Place an 8-inch layer of loose straw, leaves, or mulch over the septic tank, pipes, and shallow drain fields if snow cover is sparse.
  3. Inspect lids and risers: Check your manhole covers and tank lids for cracks or damage before the ground becomes cold and wet.
  4. Pump the tank: Schedule a professional pumping in the fall so your system enters heavy winter use with maximum capacity while the ground is still accessible.
  5. Reroute surface water: Ensure roof gutters, downspouts, and sump pumps direct rainwater and melting snow away from the drain field to prevent soil saturation.
