Septic Tank Health

12 Oct 2011

Your septic tank system can fail for a variety of reasons. Knowing what to avoid and be aware of will extend the life of your septic tank system greatly.

1. Conserve Water. More than a money saving gimmick, septic systems are built with a certain expected water usage. Exceeding the estimated water usage will short the life of your septic tank.

2. Be Proactive. Install inspection points, even with the ground (so the mower blades miss them), to have access to the septic system’s laterals and tank. Spot a problem before it ruins your system.

3. Know the Land. Avoid landscaping or paving around or on top of the septic system. The resulting damage can severely hamper your septic system’s ability to process waste.

4. Call in the Pros. Even an apparently healthy septic tank should be inspected every few years. When a septic system is acting up a professional can usually spot the problem and provide the right solution – the first time.
