Perform Regular Pumping for Optimal Health
Regular septic tank pumping is the cornerstone of septic system maintenance. Over time, solid waste accumulates in your tank, reducing its capacity and potentially leading to blockages. To keep your system in top shape, schedule a professional septic tank pumping every three to five years. Stanley’s Septic & Construction can help you determine the ideal frequency for your specific needs.
Mindful Flushing: What Not to Send Down
What you flush down the drain can significantly impact your septic system’s cleanliness. Non-biodegradable items, chemicals, excessive toilet paper, and cooking grease should never enter your septic tank. Opt for septic-safe toilet paper and dispose of cooking grease in a designated container to maintain a clean and efficient tank.
Water Conservation: The Key to Septic Health
Excessive water usage can overwhelm your septic tank. Address plumbing leaks promptly, install water-efficient appliances, and try to space out laundry and dishwashing loads to prevent sudden surges of water entering the system. Conserving water benefits not only your septic system but also the environment.
Routine Inspections: Prevent Problems Before They Escalate
Scheduling regular inspections with professionals like Stanley’s Septic & Construction is essential for long-term septic tank health.
