Understanding Your Septic System: Essential Care for a Healthy Home 🏡 A septic system is like an invisible guardian, quietly treating your household wastewater and protecting the environment; but it needs regular maintenance to function properly! Key Points to Remember: What goes where: Only flush toilet paper and human waste down the toilet. Avoid flushing anything else like wipes, diapers, or grease, which can clog your system. Water conservation matters: Minimize water usage to reduce strain on your septic tank. Regular pumping: Schedule routine septic tank pumping every 3-5 years (depending on household size) to remove accumulated sludge. Watch for warning signs: If you notice sewage backing up, soggy areas in your yard, or unusual odors, it could indicate a septic issue - contact us immediately! Call us today! 478 272 0428
