Septic System Usage Tips by Septic Preservation

Septic Preservation ServicesSeptic Preservation Services provides services and maintenance for septic system owners, however, we also provide information to septic system owners. We want to help ensure that septic system owners are using their septic system correctly, which will often mean that they will not need as many unscheduled maintenance and repairs. Conventional septic systems can function very well with minimal care. In fact, most septic tanks will only require an inspection and pumping out every three to five years if they are used properly.  A few good things to remember are:

 

  • Have your septic system inspected and pumped every 3 to 5 years.  If the tank fills up with an excess of solids, the wastewater will not have enough time to settle in the tank.  These excess solids will then pass on to the leach field, where they will clog the drain lines and soil.
  • Know the location of your septic system and drain field, and keep a record of all inspections, pumpings, repairs, contract or engineering work for future references.  Keep a sketch of it handy for service visits.
  • Take leftover hazardous chemicals to your approved hazardous waste collection center for disposal.   Use bleach, disinfectants, and drain and toilet bowl cleaners sparingly and in accordance with product labels.
  • Your toilet or sink is not a trash can  so don’t dump non-biodegradables (cigarette butts, diapers, feminine products, etc.) or grease down your sink or toilet.  Non-biodegradables can clog the pipes, while grease can thicken and clog the pipes.  Store cooking oils, fats, and grease in a can for disposal in the garbage.
  • Do not put paint thinner, polyurethane, anti-freeze, pesticides, some dyes, disinfectants, water softeners, and other strong chemicals into the system.  These can cause major upsets in the septic tank by killing the biological part of your septic system and polluting the groundwater. Small amounts of standard household cleaners, drain cleansers, detergents, etc. will be diluted in the tank and should cause no damage to the system.
  • Excessive laundry loads with your washing machine does not allow your septic tank time to adequately treat wastes and overwhelms the entire system with excess wastewater.
  • Do not use chemical solvents to clean the plumbing or septic system. “Miracle” chemicals will kill microorganisms that consume harmful wastes.  These products can also cause groundwater contamination
