  • How often should a biofilter be cleaned, and why is it important?

    A biofilter should be cleaned every six months to ensure your septic system continues to operate efficiently. Regular biofilter cleaning prevents buildup that can restrict wastewater flow, reduce treatment effectiveness, and place unnecessary strain on the rest of your septic system. Over time, a clogged or neglected biofilter can lead to backups, system failure, or costly repairs. With over 35 years of experience, Mayes Septic & Port-A-Pots LLC has the expertise and equipment to properly service biofilters as part of routine septic maintenance. Keeping your biofilter clean helps extend the life of your system, protects your property, and ensures your septic system functions as designed year-round.
