Read over the following section, and learn how to better care for your septic system. We want to help you save your hard-earned cash!
Septic system care is often compared to caring for an automobile. When you put in a small amount of care and effort over a long period of time, you can expect to save some cash. Below are a few tips to follow if you would like to better care for the overall health of your septic system.
Ray's Septic Service provides septic maintenance in the form of drain line cleaning, tank cleaning, and septic tank pump outs. These preventative measures can ensure your septic system is working as it should and it will elongate the overall lifespan of your tank.
Know What Not To Flush
What you put into your septic system greatly affects its ability to do its job. As a general rule of thumb, do not dispose of anything in your septic system that can just as easily be put in the trash. Remember that your system is not designed to be a garbage disposal!
Pump Your Tank Regularly
Pumping your septic tank is probably the single most important thing you can do to protect your system. If the buildup of solids in the tank becomes too high and solids move to the drain field, this could clog and strain the system to the point where a new drain field will be needed.
Inspect Your Septic System Every Year
Inspecting your septic system annually provides the finest method to monitor your system's health. Inspections can reveal problems before they become serious. Schedule a routine check-up with Ray's Septic Service, and they'll provide your entire home with a thorough analysis. They'll check the levels of sludge and scum in your tank, and provide a more accurate idea of how often it should be pumped.
Protect Your Septic System
Finally, it is important to protect your septic system from potential damage. Don't plant anything but grass near your septic system. Roots from shrubs and trees can cause damage. Also, don't allow anyone to drive or operate heavy machinery over any part of the system. Remember that grass is the most appropriate cover for the drain field.
