The Best Ways to Maintain Your Septic System

Unless they have an outhouse, people who live out in the country or in an area that isn’t connected to a sewer know the importance of a septic system. Without a properly functioning septic tank and septic system, these folks don’t have a way to get rid of their waste—and their house likely doesn’t smell all that great, either. Thankfully, septic system maintenance in Cleveland, TX isn’t as hard as you may think. With the help of a professional, you should never run into any problems with your septic system, but here are some ways to keep things running smoothly on your own:

  • Watch what you flush: The easiest way to keep your septic system working the way it’s intended is to be extremely careful about what gets flushed down your toilet. Anything other than toilet paper can wreak havoc on your system and necessitate expensive repairs from either a plumber or one of our technicians. Keep in mind that most products advertised as being “flushable,” like cat litter and some paper products, usually don’t break down as well as they should.
  • Conserve water: Unlike city-dwellers who are connected to the sewer and have city water, folks with septic systems need to be careful about how much water they use. Septic tanks have a finite amount of storage space, and they need time to filter out the waste before they can be filled again. Monitor how often you flush the toilet, how long showers go and how many loads of laundry you do in a day. It’s also not a bad idea to go around and periodically check your pipes and appliances to make sure there aren’t any leaks. If you think about it, you should also try to conserve water to cut down on your monthly utility bills. Speak to your family today about the importance of water conservation around the house.
  • Protect the tank: Although it’s installed deep in the ground, you’ve got to protect your septic tank and drain field! Never place or install anything heavy above your system. Heavy objects like parked cars and RVs, above-ground pools, sheds, and concrete or asphalt slabs can’t go anywhere near your system. If they do, you’re bound to crack some part of the system, which will require expensive repairs and bring on serious headaches for everyone involved.
  • Call the pros: If all else fails with the previous maintenance tips and you’re still having issues, give All Pro Septic a call!
