Why do you need to know how your septic system works?

Not knowing can cost you money!

The septic system in the average home, with two baths and three occupants will process over 85,000 gallons of wastewater annually.

A small commitment on your part will greatly   benefit the efficiency of your septic system.  A failed septic system is costly to the homeowner and the environment.  Just an ounce of prevention is truly worth a pound of cure! 

PROBLEM 1
Household cleaners such as ordinary detergents, soaps, bleach, disinfectants, and water softeners kill the bacteria necessary for proper septic tank operation.  Bacteria must be present for septic digestion.

PROBLEM 2
Grease and sludge is the heavy inorganic materials that sink to the bottom of the tank.  This should be pumped every three to five years. If not pumped out it will eventually overflow into the soil absorption area  This will clog the system and will need to be replaced.  You will find this is expensive and inconvenient.
