Does out of sight, out of mind describe how you think about your septic system? Most businesses & homeowners don’t think about what happens to the water & waste that goes down the drain until it backs up. At this it may be too late. Damages may have occurred to the septic leaching system resulting in costly repairs.
The best way to maintain your septic is routine maintenance. Have the tank pumped on a schedule based on the size of the tank and amount of usage the system endures.
Prevention is always better than the cure and when it comes to septic system repairs, it is also much cheaper.
- Use a yearly septic tank treatment, such as LLMO (Live Liquid Micro-Organisms), to maintain healthy bacteria levels to break down solids and reduce scum
- Never put harmful chemicals down the drain or toilet such as bleach or ammonia-based cleaners
- Never put motor oil, paint, or grease down the household plumbing
- Only flush human waste and septic approved toilet paper down the toilet
- Avoid using a garbage disposal, if you do use it infrequently
- Don’t do laundry loads back-to-back, spread them out to limit wastewater going into septic tanks
- Never drive or park vehicles or heavy equipment on your leach field
- Ensure you know when your next septic tank pump is due
