How do you know you never needed it? Aren't you at risk of a trashed

How am I supposed to know if there is no "problem" extant?


You get the septic tank and system inspected once in a while. If you
just let it go forever, eventually, the tank will overflow, the drain
field will get plugged up, and big bucks will get spent. Admittedly, I
have never had a septic system myself.
