What Is a Septic Tank?
Septic tanks are vital to all property types that don’t have a centralized sewer system. A septic system will receive all the wastewater from your property, like toilet waste and bath water. While inside the tank, all the solid materials will sink to the bottom, where bacteria break them down. The liquid waste will then flow out of the tank into a drain field. Septic tank systems will safely treat and dispose of wastewater, protecting the public’s health and surrounding communities.
How to Maintain Your Septic Tank
Following through with proper and thorough maintenance for your septic tank system will keep it operating for many years. Select Service Pumping follows up with all of our clients with our maintenance program. However, we provide our customers with additional tips and advice to implement into their lifestyle for their septic system.
Have Your Tanks Regularly Pumped
Select Service Pumping recommends that clients pump their tanks every three years as a rule of thumb. Doing so allows you to avoid costly repairs in the future.
Mindful Flushing
Flush only toilet paper and human waste down your toilet. Things like wipes and dental floss can clog up your pipes and tanks.
Water Conservation
Being conscious of your water usage goes a long way for your septic systems. Spreading out water-intensive activities like laundry and showering lessens the chance of you overwhelming your system.
Chemicals
Chemicals, oils, and grease can affect the bacteria that break down the waste in your septic system. Try to avoid pouring these substances down your drains.
