Hydro jetting is critical to the health and safety of your family. It protects against sewage backups and protects the groundwater and natural environment around the home. A well-maintained septic tank is also more economical for your household.
To keep your septic system healthy, avoid putting large quantities of water into it at one time. This can overwhelm the pre-treatment process and cause a backup of waste into your house. Take shorter showers and wash only one or two loads of laundry per day. Use aerators on sink faucets and low-flow showerheads to save water. Fix any leaky faucets or toilets right away; over time, a small leak can send hundreds of extra gallons of water into the septic system. Use only septic system friendly toilet paper, soaps and detergents. Avoid flushing cat litter, coffee grounds, cotton swabs, diapers, sanitary products, towelettes or wipes (even the ‘flushable’ variety), paints, chemicals, oils, drain cleaners, solvents, medicines and other household hazardous wastes.
Best Practices for Septic System Care
Have your septic tank inspected and pumped regularly. In addition to avoiding expensive repairs, routine pumping helps prevent clogged or failing drainfields and sewage leaks into your home. Garbage disposals increase the amount of solids that enter your septic system and require more frequent pumping.
Learn where your septic tank is located and mark it with easy-to-see markings or a flag. Keep children and pets away from the septic tank and drainfield area. Don’t build or plant anything on or over the drainfield.
