Septic System Life Expectancy
& the role of septic system maintenance
|
Septic system life expectancy:
This document describes the typical life expectancy of septic systems and various common septic system components. The life expectancy of a septic tank depends largely on its materials, while the life of septic system piping depends largely on the risk of damage from vehicle traffic, clogging by roots, or flooding by groundwater.
The life expectancy of a drainfield varies widely by installation type (conventional soil absorption system versus a sand bed filter, for example), by soil conditions (clay or rock or sand), and importantly, by the frequency of maintenance and cleaning which has been performed on the septic system.

Septic System Component Life Expectancy
Understanding the proper procedures for septic tank care, septic tank cleaning frequency, and other septic tank maintenance chores, will permit the owner of a home with an onsite septic system to maximize the life of the system and to assure that it is working properly.
How Quickly Does A Septic System Fail? How long will a septic tank, D-box, or absorption bed last?
Readers should see SEPTIC LIFE MAXIMIZING STEPS, and see Septic Tank Pumping Procedure for a detailed step by step photo-illustrated guide to find, pump and clean a septic tank. The life of the entire septic septic system depends on the following factors:
- Septic Tank Pumping Frequency: providing you are starting with a functional and reasonably-designed septic
system, the most significant step you can take to extend the septic system life is to have the septic tank
cleaned or "pumped" on schedule.
See TANK PUMPING SCHEDULE for a table that determines how often a particular septic tank needs this service. - How the Septic System is Used: including the wastewater usage level and what materials are flushed
down the septic system drains. Conserving water reduces the load on the absorption field. Avoiding flushing
chemicals or items that don't biodegrade reduces the solid build-up rate in the septic tank.
See "Don't Flush these things into a septic system" for a list of what's ok and what's not ok to put into septic tanks and building drains. - Soil Conditions such as the soil percolation rate and the amount and level of ground water or surface water that affect the soil absorption area or drain field.
- Septic Tank Materials: a steel septic tank rusts away, first losing its baffles (which lead to drain field clogging) and eventually rusting at its bottom or sides. The rate of rust depends on the soil conditions and soil acidity and other factors. A concrete septic tank can have a very long life, in excess of 40 years, except for cases of poorly-mixed concrete or possibly acidic soils which may reduce that span. Plastic or fiberglass septic tanks can expect to have a similar life unless they are mechanically damaged.
- Life of Special Components such as effluent pumps or septic grinder pumps, septic filters, septic media, and sand bed filter systems often determines the need for repair of alternate-design septic systems that use these components.
- Nearby trees or plants whose roots invade system components.
- Water & wet sites: sending surface or roof runoff into a drainfield area or locating a septic soakaway bed in wet soils, near a high water table, near creeks or streams prone to flooding all mean short life as well as maybe an improper or illegal installation.
- Water usage in the building: tThe level of water usage in a building also affects the drainfield and unusual or abnormal levels of water usage, such as constantly running toilets (TOILET RUNS CONTINUOUSLY) or a water softener stuck in "backwash" cycle, can saturate a septic drainfield and cause it to fail. And a water softener or water conditioner that is improperly adjusted and puts too much salt into the water also is harmful to the drainfield.
See HOW SOFTENERS WORK for details about how water softeners work.
See SOFTENER ADJUSTMENT & CONTROLS for advice on how to set the water softener timer and salt dose.
How Quickly Will the Septic System Fail if We Have One or More of the Problems Listed Above?
Septic systems (tank and absorption system, or onsite wastewater disposal systems) will not fail immediately if they are not pumped. However, an un-maintained septic tank is no longer protecting the soil absorption field from solids. Continued neglect shortens the drain field life and may result in system failure and even require complete replacement of the soil absorption field. In some cases, site limitations may make replacement of the absorption field impossible - at least impossible using a conventional drainfield design. Alternative designs are available to solve these problems.
So provided you've addressed these factors in septic system life, how long can you expect a septic system to last before costly repairs to the septic tank or septic drain field are required?
How Long do Individual Septic System Components like Tanks, Piping, D-Boxes, Filters or Pumps Last?
A steel septic tank will rust out on a schedule affected by soil acidity and tank steel quality and coating integrity. A steel septic tank more than 15 or 20 years old is likely to have already rusted to the point of having lost its baffles and perhaps having a rusted-out bottom - conditions that can be recognized during septic tank cleaning and inspection. A steel septic tank cover lasts until some fool drives over it or it rusts out.
A concrete septic tank can last 40 years to nearly indefinitely, though poor quality concrete or acidic ground water may result in deteriorated baffles or tank components.
A conventional septic drain field has a varying life as a function of the soil percolation rate, drainfield size, and usage level. I've seen a septic drainfield, a large one in good soil with a well maintained septic tank, last for more than 50 years. I've seen a conventional septic drainfield fail within 24 hours of first use on a new system when piping was poorly installed.
There is therefore a very wide range of life for this component. Experience of neighbors who have similar soils and similar systems can be helpful if you ask. In general, if I know nothing but that there is a conventional septic drainfield or a raised bed system and it's 20 years old, I consider its forward life not predictable and advise owners to budget for its replacement at any time.
The septic tank is only one part of an on-site wastewater system. It is designed to remove solids prior to the effluent entering the soil absorption field, provide for the filtration, digestion of a portion of those solids, and storage of the remaining solids. Taking care of the septic tank will, however, extend the life of the costly second half of the onsite wastewater treatment system - the absorption system, leach field, or drainfield.

What to Do if you have just moved into a home with a septic system
If you've just moved into a home with a septic tank you may not know the size of the septic tank, its maintenance history, or even where the septic tank is. In this case, you should have the tank pumped and inspected. The company pumping the tank will tell you its size, age, and condition.

Question: septic system installation in Newfoundland, Canada lasted 60 years
(May 15, 2014) Art Mercer said:
In 1958, as a boy of 14 years, I helped my father install a concrete septic tank for our home in Newfoundland, Canada. We dug a septic field behind the house (rural property) using 8" pieces of aluminum piping. This septic system has been used constantly since that date (over 60 years) and it has never been opened. Later this week my brother (who was not even born then)will switch the system to the local town septic system. I wish my father was alive to realize the feat that he acomplished so many years ago.
Reply:
Thanks for the success-report Art. Indeed there are some old, still functioning septic system drainfields. Often I see that soil properties are key in the successful disposal of effluent.
As a different data point, in 1998 I excavated a system built in 1920 that was still "functioning" supporting the home of a single elderly occupant who had observed odors around the septic tank. We found that there was no drainfield, not even a seepage pit. A short pipe exited the septic tank into the "ground" that was in this case largely gravel. Effluent was disposed-of, though the level of treatment was probably minimal.
Question: 36 year old septic systems: contractor wants too much to do a repair
Oct 22, 2014) Sherry Lewis said:
My septic system is 36 years old. It is concrete (if the stand pipes are concrete I assume the tank is), it has two tanks (I'm told the second is an overflow tank), the soil in my area is mostly sandy (nearby ocean) and for about 30 years I have been the sole occupant in my house. Plus, I use the disposal only for the smallest bits of food that slip into it, don't put anything in the system other than water, soap, the slight disposal waste and toilet waste. I have the system pumped on the average of every other year.
Recently when it was pumped I had called them due to air bubbling out of my downstairs toilet and a friend suggesting that spelled trouble and a full tank. It was at the 2 year mark. The pumper fellow said primarily due to the age of the system, it was probably due for replacement, either entirely or at a minimum the leach field.
#1) Is age alone the primarily indicator for replacing the system?
#2) When talking to a contractor to do the job he said it would require a lift station due to my high ground water (8'). He said that if the sewage pipes in my house were located somewhat high in the ground the lift pump would not be required, however, a high water table issue has inundated over 50 homes barely 5 miles away and indications are that "it" (the high water) is moving my way.
He did recommend the lift station without coming to check my current sewage pipe depth and I'm going to call him to do so rather than him assuming they will not accommodate a standard system as I have now. I don't know what the water table level was when the house was built but I suspect a was a bit lower than 8'. Finally, the fellow who came to dig the test hole, looking for the water level, indicated an approximate cost of $7,000 or a touch more if I declared 4 rather than 3 bedrooms. The contractor who will do the replacement work indicated a price right at DOUBLE that amount due to the lift station! That seems obscenely high! Please help! Thank you very much.
