“Great service! I typically use Kent, but they were scheduled a month out and I needed to get this done quickly. Maznek was prompt, courteous and even fixed a problem I didn’t know I had with a high level float. Great work.“

Septic Strainer & Filter FAQs
What does a septic filter or strainer do?
It traps solids before they reach your leach field, protecting your system from costly damage.
How often should my septic filter be cleaned?
Typically, every time your tank is pumped—about every 2–3 years, or more often for high-use systems.
What are signs that my septic filter is clogged?
Slow drains, gurgling pipes, odors, or backups soon after pumping may signal a clogged filter.
Can I clean my septic filter myself?
Yes! Our technician can show you where your strainer is located and how to properly service it.
When should a septic filter be replaced instead of cleaned?
If the filter is cracked, damaged, or ineffective, it should be replaced rather than cleaned.
Does every septic system have a filter?
Not all systems do. We’ll confirm during service and maintain it if one is installed.
