Default Toilet paper septic (does it dissolve or not)

If you really are religious about only putting human waste and TP into your system, you can almost always go for at least 5 years without pumping.

If you know where the tank cleanout cover is located, you can did it up and stick a rough-surfaced wooden pole into the tank, If there is sludge build-up, you can see it when you remove the stick. If the stick is clean, you are in good shape and not in danger of clogging the drain field pipes.
