Whether you live in a <\/span>beach house in Jamestown, RI<\/span><\/a> or a <\/span>cabin near Portland, OR<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0 your home has a septic system or a sewer system. Septic tanks and sewer lines differ in many ways, but also offer many of the same benefits. Basically, both systems offer reliable drainage of wastewater from your home and make it possible for you to take showers, do laundry, wash the dishes, and flush toilets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Septic tank and sewer line maintenance will be different, but there are general guidelines to follow regardless of what type of system your home has to help avoid any expensive problems occurring. So if you already own a home with septic, or are thinking about buying a house with a septic tank<\/a>, here are expert tips for maintaining a septic tank or sewer system.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Two<\/p>\n

Routine maintenance is key for maintaining septic tanks<\/span><\/h2>\n

If your home has a septic system, recognize that you own a wastewater system and what an investment it is. Regular maintenance, no matter how trivial it may seem, will keep your wastewater system operating efficiently for years to come. When you see or smell a problem, it might be too late to remedy without costing a small fortune. –<\/span>Meinco Wastewater Systems<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Perform a quick inspection every month<\/span><\/h2>\n

Know exactly how to shut off the water, gas, and power in your home. Know<\/span> the difference between natural gas and carbon dioxide smells. Most importantly, don\u2019t be afraid to look around underneath cabinets behind water heaters and just do a quick physical inspection monthly to keep anything from rupturing. – <\/span>Squeaks<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Educate your loved ones<\/span><\/h2>\n

Being mindful of plumbing systems in our homes is important now that we\u2019re spending a lot more time at home with family.\u00a0 You need to be talking to your loved ones about what to flush and what not to flush. Some items even claim to be \u201cflushable\u201d but reek havoc on your drain system. The same goes for your kitchen sink. As people stay in more, they end up cooking more. Be careful not to put items down the drain that could jam or clog your drains like grease.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>And, landscaping needs to be researched before planting. You need to be aware of the location of your main sewer line before planting trees or bushes. Roots can create a huge problem in your plumbing system. – <\/span>Leak Geeks Plumbing<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Kitchen<\/p>\n

Opt to throw hand wipes in the trash<\/span><\/h2>\n

Do not flush hand wipes down the toilet. This will clog the system, whether a septic tank or municipal wastewater system. – <\/span>Water Connections<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Think twice before flushing if you\u2019re uncertain<\/span><\/h2>\n

An important \u201cdon\u2019t\u201d in owning a septic system is to not flush anything that isn\u2019t natural waste and toilet paper. You\u2019d be surprised how often septic problems are caused simply by flushing feminine hygiene, dental floss, hair, and even harsh chemicals. Even some \u2018septic safe\u2019 chemicals can be harsh for your system. Using your best judgment is important when maintaining a septic tank. If it seems iffy, try and use as little as possible. – <\/span>Lil\u2019 Stinky<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t flush \u201cflushable wipes\u201d down the toilet. Don\u2019t dump food particles down the kitchen sink. Do be mindful of any slow drains. – <\/span>Scott English Plumbing Inc.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t flush anything but toilet paper – no wet wipes, no paper towels, no feminine products.\u00a0 These items do not break down properly. Don\u2019t put caustic chemicals (such as acid cleaners) in your toilets, lavatory drains, tub\/shower drains, floor drains or laundry drains in an attempt to clear them, these may eat away at the clog but also they will also eat away at your pipes over time. Call a professional if you have a slow drain or stubborn clog. – <\/span>Stang Plumbing & Heating<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Get your septic tank serviced<\/span><\/h2>\n

Having your septic tank pumped and serviced tells you where the tank is located, the date serviced, and what maintenance plan to be on. It’s best to spend a few hundred dollars on regular maintenance every three to five years than to neglect the septic system and spend thousands of dollars on a major repair. – <\/span>Allgood Sewer and Septic Tank Service<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t dump fats, oils, and grease down drains<\/span><\/h2>\n

Avoid pouring fats, oils, and grease down your drains when maintaining a septic tank. These substances can quickly build up a thick layer of scum that can be detrimental to your septic system. Most other types of biodegradable materials are typically not a problem. – <\/span>Full House Inspections<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Pouring grease down the drain can be one of the main reasons drains will need a sewer rodding. To avoid that, you should pour it into a heat-protected container and throw it away. – <\/span>J. Blanton Plumbing<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Pristine<\/p>\n

Know where all the components are located\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The importance of maintaining your septic tank starts with knowing what type of septic system you have and where the components are located. When having your routine maintenance done, never allow the septic service provider to pump the tank from a cleanout. Always have your septic pumped from the main access lid of the septic tank. When pumping a septic tank the goal is to remove the solids. Pumping from the cleanout will remove the liquid and leave behind the solids. Overtime, solids will compact and\/or enter your drain field resulting in costly repairs or replacements of the system. – <\/span>Tri-County Pump Service, Inc.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Avoid pouring acid-based products or chemicals down the drain<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0Medication, nail polish remover, mouth wash, engine oil, anti-freeze, fertilizer, paint thinner, bleach, toxic acid-based products and corrosive treatments along with any other products containing harsh chemicals should not be disposed of through septic or sewer systems. Chemicals can cause harm to the bacteria culture in the system, interrupting the breakdown process, corroding the holding tanks, plumbing pipes and the discharge which can potentially pollute ground and surface water. – <\/span>Nature\u2019s Pond<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Healthy enzymes are essential<\/span><\/h2>\n

The use of chemicals to treat the sewer is a bad idea. Sewer systems are full of healthy bacteria and when using harmful chemicals you actually kill the good bacteria and believe it or not a lot of drain smells can come from the dead bacteria deteriorating inside the home\u2019s sewer system. Good bacteria like healthy enzymes are good to use and promote healthy drain lines. – <\/span>Yochim Plumbing Services, Inc.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
