How to avoid septic issues
You can avoid the huge cost of a repair or replacement of a septic system by doing a few things. First and most
important of these are to have regular cleanings. These are much more affordable than waiting for a problem.
The rest of the things are just simple changes you can make to your daily life. Stop using any soaps or cleaners
that are anti-bacterial. Bacteria is how all of the waste breaks down and without it the tank will fill faster. Don’t
use all those septic chemicals and cleaners. They do not work and just waste your money. Take showers more
often than baths. This will prevent wastewater from settling into septic tanks and save you in water bills. Stop
using the garbage disposal. It is convenient but it will add more organic waste into the tank and this takes much
longer to break down than human waste. Lastly, if possible financially to convert from a septic tank to an aerobic
system. You can prolong the life of your septic tank.
