Our camp in Maine has never been pumped out in over 10 years but I have had to open it and remove roots that blocked first in input then the output lines. I added root killer and while in there took a long stick and ran it around the bottom of the tank, there was no solids at all that I could detect.

OK: This is a full time residence..not a camp..BUT I hear you BR. The first time we pumped out was I think 12 years AFTER we moved in. A few years ago, a friend across street had to REPLACE the entire septic AND Leach field. It cost well over $20K. NB

PS: We have been living here since 1978.
