Septic Tank Treatment Tips

Most times your septic tank functions as it’s designed to, and it tends to be overlooked. Proper care of your septic tank can extend its life considerably. Septic tank treatment is simple. Arm yourself with knowledge and avoid common causes of septic tank system failures.

1.       Limit water usage. Wastewater needs time to let scum (oil and grease among other things) float to the surface and solid waste to settle on the bottom. Too much water will push scum and solid waste into the leech field causing clogging or breakthrough.

2.       Inspect regularly. Even a properly functioning septic tank needs occasional maintenance. Have a professional check for excessive sludge and scum. Depending on the family size every 2 to 5 years is recommended.

These two actions will help ensure you get the most from your septic system for years to come. Combined with Septic Tank Cleaner, you can ward off messy backups.
