Frequently Asked Questions
What should I avoid putting down the drain with a septic system?
Avoid pouring fats, oils, grease, coffee grounds, eggshells, and fibrous foods down the drain, since they can clog the inlet and fill the tank faster. Wipes, paper towels, diapers, and feminine products do not break down well and often cause backups. Household chemicals, paint, solvents, and large amounts of bleach can harm the bacteria that treat waste. Use water in normal amounts and spread laundry loads across the week.
How can I make my septic system last longer?
Schedule pumping on a regular interval, often every three to five years depending on tank size, household size, and water use. Have the tank and baffles inspected when it is pumped. Keep heavy vehicles and trees off the drain field, and direct roof drains and sump pumps away from it. Fix leaking toilets and faucets quickly, use water efficiently, and avoid harsh additives that claim to restore bacterial balance.
What does a septic pumping service usually include?
A typical visit starts with locating the tank and opening the access lids. The contractor pumps out the liquid and solids, checks the inlet and outlet baffles, and notes the scum and sludge levels. Many services also inspect the tank condition and may rinse the walls. Some offer drain field checks or minor repairs. Ask what is included and whether disposal fees are part of the quoted price.
