Nasty Sewage Backup?

No one wants to see sewage backing up into their sinks, bathtubs or toilets, but an overly-full septic tank causes this to happen.

How To Use Your Septic Tank Wisely About 25% of the homes in North America use private septic tanks to treat their waste. If your home has a septic tank, it's your responsibility to make sure it's emptied and maintained on schedule. It's also your responsibility to keep harmful products out of your septic tank so they don't clog your septic system or pollute the surrounding environment. Conserve Water The more you put into a septic tank, the harder it has to work and the faster it will fill. This is true even if you're only flushing water into your tank. Large loads of laundry and long, hot showers can flood your septic system and make it much harder for your tank to break down the waste. Water-saving sinks, toilets, and washing machines can help reduce the load on septic tanks in Monroeville. Recycle Used Water Another way to keep excess water out of your septic system is by recycling some of the water you use around your house each day. Divert the water from your bathtub away from your septic tank, since this water--known as grey water--is relatively safe to reuse. You can use it to water your lawn or flush your toilets instead of letting it go to waste down the drain. Divert Rainwater Make sure that rainwater isn't ending up in your septic tank. Your property should slope away from your house to keep water from collecting around your home. Make sure the downspout of your gutters is pointed away from your home, as well. These can frequently get knocked out of place, so be sure to check yours often. Know What Not to Flush Some things should never be put into a septic system. They may contain hazardous chemicals that can damage your septic system, or they may be too bulky to break down quickly. Never flush any of the following down your sinks or toilets: • Antibiotic soaps • Paper towels, diapers, or tampons • Paint • Oil or grease • Trash • Bleach Limit Garbage Disposal Use Garbage disposals cause septic tanks to fill up faster than almost anything else. Homeowners who use a garbage disposal typically have to have their tanks emptied every year, while those without garbage disposals may only have to have their tanks emptied every 3-4 years. If you want to keep using your garbage disposal, do so wisely. Make sure to only put very small crumbs into your garbage disposal--not entire pieces of food. Avoid using your disposal for foods like rice and noodles, which expand as they absorb water and may get stuck in your pipes. Protect Your Tank Although your tank is sturdy and should last several decades, it can be damaged by too much pressure. Don't ever drive over your septic tank or let heavy objects like trailers sit on top of it. You should also avoid planting any large trees or bushes near your tank or drain field. They'll only get in the way when you need to have your tank emptied, and their strong roots may break through your septic system in search of water. Have Your Tank Inspected The most important thing you can do to keep your septic tank working is to have it inspected and emptied on a regular basis. Septic tanks in Monroeville can fill up quickly, and septic problems can be costly to fix if the sewage backs up into your house. Your inspector will pump the sludge out of the tank and check your whole system to make sure there are no leaks, clogs, or other problems. He will also inspect the drain field to look for signs of septic system trouble. As long as you have your tank inspected every 1-2 years, you shouldn't have to worry about unexpected septic system failure.
