Red Dirt Septic suggests that the trash tank of your aerobic system be pumped on a periodic basis, typically every 2-4 years. Pumping frequency depends on usage levels and tank size. As a “rule of thumb”, here is a good schedule that shows how often you should keep up with good septic health and have your system pumped while avoiding costly repairs. Please call our office and we’ll help determine when your system may need to be pumped.
Depending on the volume of water flow of your home, you may need to add chlorine to your aerobic system as often as once a month. Be sure to purchase chlorine specifically designed for aerobics. Again, contact our office and we will be happy to answer your questions.
Red Dirt Septic offers a Continuing Maintenance Program to keep your aerobic system operating as designed and to comply with all DEQ standards. If you have a new system installed by Red Dirt, our Continuing Maintenance begins after we have completed the two-year maintenance included with your system purchase.
Please contact our office if you have any questions about maintenance or septic tank repair in Oklahoma City.

Your aerobic system is equipped with an audible and visual alarm system to notify you when the system needs attention. (Most systems include a toggle switch to mute the audible alarm.) The alarm indicates a problem with the air or spray system. Neither issue represents an emergency, however, notify the Red Dirt office so we can schedule one of our technicians to investigate the problem within a few days.
