Septic Tips Offered By Washington Septic Tank Pumping Company

By Jomer Tuyor


While most owners find on-site sewage systems to be reliable, they do require a few precautions that municipal system do not. When one provides proper care for these systems, they can provide years of service with very few problems. The following tips offered by a Washington septic tank pumping company ensures these systems work according to their plan.

Drain fields require proper care. They are not to be used for additional parking or for driving one's vehicle. Never build structures over the area. Limit landscaping to grass. Slope the surrounding area to prevent runoff from the surface from saturating the soil.

Protect the helpful bacteria that break down waste. Do not dispose of pesticides, harsh chemicals or medication down the drains. If these bacteria are killed by such products, they cannot break down the waste that enters the disposal system. As a result, the solid materials build up more quickly, and the unit requires service more often.

Do not use the system to dispose trash. Only human waste and toilet tissue should be flushed down the toilet. In the kitchen limit the amount of food disposed using the garbage disposal. Never pour fats or grease down the sink. They will eventually solidify and may clog the pipes.

Do not flood your on-site sewage disposal system with excess water. Swimming pools, spas and water beds should be drained on the grass and not into tanks. The large water volume may flood a drain field and cause the system to fail. If washing a large number of loads of clothes, spread them throughout the day to allow the water to disperse between loads.

Units should be inspected regularly and serviced by a Washington septic tank pumping company. The process removes any solid materials from the chambers to prevent damage to drain fields. These precautions help to ensure the longest life for the unit. The service technician can provide information on how often to inspect the unit.
