Your septic system is a major part of your property’s infrastructure. Regular maintenance can help identify potential problems before they become more disruptive or expensive.
Pump Your Septic Tank When Needed
Regular pumping removes accumulated sludge and helps prevent excessive solids from entering the drain field.
Be Careful What Goes Down Your Drains
Grease, harsh chemicals, wipes, and other inappropriate materials can contribute to plumbing and septic system problems.
Avoid Excessive Water Use
Large amounts of water entering the septic system in a short period can overload the system and put additional stress on the drain field.
Pay Attention to Warning Signs
Slow drains, sewage odors, standing water, and wastewater backups should not be ignored.
Address Problems Promptly
A septic problem can originate with the tank, plumbing, pump, drain field, lift station, or another component. Professional evaluation can help determine the actual source of the problem before repairs are attempted.
