One of the most essential maintenance tasks is regular pumping. Over time, waste builds up in your septic tank, forming layers of sludge that can eventually clog your system. Routine pumping removes this buildup, allowing your system to work efficiently.
A professional inspection assesses the condition of your tank, pipes, and drain field. During an inspection, our licensed technicians check for leaks, blockages, and signs of wear or damage. Catching these issues early helps prevent costly repairs and keeps your system functioning smoothly.
The drain field is where wastewater is filtered before returning to the ground, so keeping it in good shape is essential. Avoid parking or driving over the drain field and keep trees or shrubs at a safe distance to prevent roots from invading the pipes.
Excessive water usage can overwhelm your septic system. Conserving water not only helps the environment but also reduces the strain on your septic system. Spread out laundry loads, use high-efficiency fixtures, and fix any leaking faucets or toilets promptly.
Everything that goes down the drain ends up in your septic system. Be mindful of what you flush or pour down the sink, as certain materials can cause clogs or disrupt the natural bacteria that help break down waste in your tank.
