Advice on Maintaining Your Septic System

I don't know how big my tank is. Can you tell me?

In general, the following applies:

Number of Bedrooms Tank Size
1-3 1000
4 1250
5 1500
6 1750
7 2000
8 2250

When garbage disposals are installed, an additional 250 gallons is recommended.

These are standard guidelines. We often find bigger or smaller tanks than expected.
