The key to maintaining a healthy septic system is proper care and maintenance. It is important to regularly inspect the tank, clean any debris from the inlet and outlet pipes, and pump out the tank when necessary. Additionally, it is essential to avoid flushing items that can clog or damage your septic system, such as diapers, feminine hygiene products, wipes, paper towels, grease, oil or chemicals. Furthermore, it is critical to maintain adequate leach field capacity by avoiding activities that may cause soil compaction near the leach field area. Finally, regular inspections of your septic system help identify potential problems early on so that they can be fixed before they become major issues. By following these simple steps you can ensure a healthy septic system for years to come!
