Where Are You With Your System?
Sewage backing up or an alarm going off
Cut back water use right away. No laundry, no dishwasher, short showers. Then call. See backups & alarms for what to do in the meantime.
Can't remember the last pumping
If it's been more than a few years, or you've never had it done since moving in, schedule septic pumping and have the baffles checked while the tank is open.
Buying or selling
A septic inspection before closing tells you whether you're getting a working system or a five-figure replacement.

Orange County ground isn't all the same
Rocky, shallow soil in the Highlands towns (Monroe, NY 10950, Woodbury, Warwick), heavier soils in parts of the valleys, and a high water table near the black dirt farms all affect how a drain field works and what a replacement will need. Local septic pros deal with these conditions every week.
