NORTHVILLE, Mich. - TelAve -- As homeowners begin preparing their properties for cooler weather, LaChance Brothers Excavating is reminding residents not to overlook one of the most important systems on their property—the septic system. Fall is widely considered the best time to perform routine septic maintenance, helping homeowners avoid costly repairs, inconvenient backups, and emergency service calls during the winter months.

While seasonal home maintenance often focuses on roofs, gutters, and heating systems, septic systems require regular care to continue operating efficiently. Addressing minor concerns before the ground freezes can significantly reduce the risk of unexpected failures when repairs become more difficult and expensive.

Their latest article (https://www.lachancebrothers.com/learn/more/fal...) recommends scheduling a professional inspection, pumping the septic tank when needed, keeping the drain field free of debris, directing rainwater away from the system, repairing plumbing leaks, avoiding harmful materials down household drains, and watching for early warning signs such as slow drains, sewage odors, or soggy areas in the yard.

"Many septic issues develop gradually and often go unnoticed until they become major problems," said John LaChance from LaChance Brothers Excavating. "Fall gives homeowners the opportunity to identify potential concerns early, perform preventative maintenance, and avoid emergency repairs during freezing conditions."

Routine maintenance not only helps extend the life of a septic system but also improves overall efficiency while reducing long-term repair costs. With frozen ground and snow making winter excavations more challenging, preventative service in the fall can save homeowners significant time, money, and stress.
