    • Never flush kitchen grease down the sink or toilet; your septic system is designed to handle household waste and paper products only!
    • Fix leaks as soon as they happen. Healthy plumbing is the key to a healthy septic system.
    • Have your septic system cleaned/pumped out every 3-5 years.
    • Don’t overuse anti-bacterial soaps and cleaners.
    • Compost food waste instead of using a garbage disposal.
    • Take shorter showers and limit your water use in general.
    • Don’t plant trees, shrubs or any other plants with a dense root structure near your septic field.

  • If you’re experiencing a septic issue, there are three common problems to be aware of:

    • Overflow: Septic tanks need to be pumped every 3-5 years. Gurgling or slow draining sinks and toilets can indicate your tank has reached its limit.
    • Root intrusion: Tree or plant roots can damage pipes and make your drain field less efficient. Drainage issues and standing water in your yard are common signs of a problem.
    • Rainwater leaking into tank: If your tank overflows frequently, it may be because of a leak or design flaw that is allowing rainwater to enter.
