Septic disasters can be avoided by keeping up with these tips on taking care of your plumbing. Here are three quick tips to keep your home and city safe.
1. Avoid flushing trash down
You can save yourself a load of trouble and money by NOT flushing things such as:
1. Wipes
2. Food
3. Feminine products
4. Paper towels
We have seen it all and know that sometimes accidents happen. Your dog or kid can put something that does not belong down the toilet.
In the kitchen, you should avoid the following:
1. You cannot dump oils or fats down the drain
2. Avoid your kids making slime in the sink
3. Avoid putting too many scraps in
2. Inspect Drains and Pipes
Make sure to check on your water flow and drain. If you notice your draining is slower than usual, it could be a sign that it is clogged or a problem in your septic tank.
Why is your toilet or sink bubbling or gurgling? This is a sign that you should call someone. The best thing to do is to contact your local septic service provider to assist you.
3. Pump your septic tank every three to five years
Don't hold off on pumping out your septic tank! The US Environmental Protection Agency recommends pumping your tank every 3 to 5 years or as needed. This will help clear out many of your problems.
