Most septic fields should last 25 years if properly \ installed and maintained. The best way to ensure a long lasting field is to think of it as a living thing. Your septic tank loves the following environment: Warm, dark, moist and lots of nutrients. That means that you should keep harsh chemicals, large amounts of cold water, non-biodegradable products and materials not easily broken down from entering our septic tanks.
As for the field itself, keep large vehicles or animals off. Keep the grass maintained to a height of no more that 3 inches to ensure that water is allowed to come to rest on the field. Tanks should be emptied every 3 to 5 years at the most. These tips will help to extend the life of you tank and field.
