Treating Your Septic System with Care Will Prevent Unnecessary Emergency Calls to Plumbers 911
There is much that you can do to ensure that your septic tank and system remains healthy and functioning properly for a long period of time. Here are a few do’s and dont’s, that as your
reliable Illinois plumbers, we can recommend in order to maintain a healthy septic system:
Do’s
- Pump your take – Do, pump your septic tank every 3-5 years. This is just a general guideline as how often you pump will greatly depend on that amount of water that your household uses. The more water that goes into your tank on a regular basis, the more you will have to pump. 3-5 years is the average rate of pumping for a family of 4 with one working parent.
- Be water conscious – Conserving water is not only good for the environment, but it is good for your septic tank too. Using low-flow water fixtures will help to reduce the flow of water into your tank. Also, you can take care to spread your laundry washing over the course of a week. Being mindful to never wash more than 2-3 loads in a day, as this can easily put too much pressure on your tank. Do not run your washing machine and dishwasher at the same time. Do not take multiple showers in one day if you can help it, and if you must limit laundry and dishes on that day. Never empty swimming pool or hot tub water into your tank – big no, no!
- Shop smart – Be sure to only purchase products that say that they are safe for septic systems. These products are specially formulated to help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria within your tank and in the field. Throwing this balance off can harm your system’s efficiency.
Dont’s
- Ignore what goes in – What goes in must come out. Be mindful of the things that you flush down into your septic tank. Never flush tampons, condoms, cigarette butts, paper towels, baby wipes, Kleenex or anything else besides select tissue paper brands.
- Put pressure on your system in bad weather – Rain, snow and ice can be tough enough on your system. Take care not to add any unnecessary pressure to the system during periods of heavy rain, snow or ice.
- Drain pools or hot tubs into the tank – This should be obvious, but never ever drain a hot tub or pool into your septic tank or onto your field. This will quickly water log the system, leading to backup.
Following these simple tips will help you to maintain a healthy septic system for years to come!
