Septic Tank Maintenance

Living in a rural area you may not give much thought into proper septic tank maintenance. Septic tank maintenance is easy and can significantly lengthen the service life of your whole septic system. The rules are simple and are as follows:

1.       Don’t overload your septic tank system with water - No matter its source (rainwater, waste water, bilge water)

2.       Keep the trees away – Tree roots love to damage sewer and septic tank leech lines

3.       Watch what you flush – Your septic tank is built to handle human waste and toilet paper only; nothing else... period

4.       Easy on the cleaners – Heavy-duty cleaners kill the beneficial bacteria in your septic tank; moderation is the key

5.       Get a regular checkup – Professional maintenance should be performed every two to five years

In between regular checkups Sanco offers Septic Tank Cleaner to maintain a healthy septic tank system. It’s 100 percent natural and helps break down organic waste for a smooth running septic system.
