A slow drain could indicate a clog. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners; instead, use natural methods or septic-safe products.
If slow drainage continues, your septic tank might need pumping or there could be an issue in the drain field.
This may suggest your tank is full or there's a problem with the drain field. Avoid driving or walking over these areas and call us immediately.
On average, a septic tank should be pumped every 3-5 years. However, the frequency can vary based on the size of the tank, the number of people in the household, and usage habits. It's wise to get regular inspections.
It's best to avoid planting trees near your septic system as roots can grow into and damage the tank and pipes. Stick to grass or plants with shallow root systems.
Never flush items like wipes (even if they say "flushable"), feminine hygiene products, diapers, or chemicals. Stick to septic-safe toilet paper. Additionally, never pour fats, oils, or greases down your sink as this causes major issues with your septic system.
A septic alarm usually indicates that the pump is not working correctly or there's a high water situation. Refrain from using water and call us immediately.
Greener grass may indicate excess moisture from the septic system. While this can be normal to an extent, excessive growth suggests possible leakage. Monitor the area and call us if it continues.
Opt for biodegradable and septic-safe cleaners. Avoid bleach-heavy products and those with anti-bacterial agents as they can disrupt the bacterial balance in the tank.
