9 Ways To Have A Better Septic Tank Life

 A homeowner would have to invest a large amount in replacing the septic tank. It becomes the biggest expense of septic system maintenance. So, the important point related to septic system maintenance is to avoid the failure of a drain field. The main purpose of the septic tank is to catch solids and oils, while the drain field absorbs wastewater. The drain field clogs when the solids or oil escape from the tank and will further overflow onto the backyard. In such circumstances, Weber septic pumping in Breslau will help you with the best solution. 



Here's a list of a few practically applicable tips that will keep the drain field in good condition, will save your money, and also avoid septic system problems. These are:

  1. Avoid the use of bleach or other harsh chemicals in the washing machine as it might clog the septic tank. It is the bacteria in the septic system that breaks down waste but the chemicals kill all the bacteria. The result would be that solid waste would get accumulated due to lack of bacterial and clog the drain field pipes.


  1. Clean lint regularly from the washing machine. The solid residue from the washing machine clogs the pipes. You might have to buy a lint filter. A better way is to ask the septic system repair companies Breslau to clear out the lint for the proper functioning of the septic system. 


  1. Try not to use garbage disposers. Bacteria take time in eating up the garbage and when a larger quantity of food particles is put down the garbage disposal, this process slows down. The septic system repair companies Breslau suggests using trash cans for the long life of the septic tank.


  1. Never flush tampons, sanitary napkins, condoms, etc. Such articles clog the tank by settling down in the drain field. Talk with the septic system repair companies Breslau if you have any doubts.


  1. You should not pour grease and oil down the sink. Homeowners should not make such minute mistakes that cause the drain field to fail. Rather, allow the residue to cool before you pour it into a container.


  1. Do not drain the hot tub immediately. The drain field might not be able to absorb too much water and will overflow. Due to the overflowing drain field, your toilets will not get flushed. You can drain the hot tub at intervals and the next person should wait for some time before going for a shower.


  1. Have control over the use of inadequate water during parties. Guests visiting your place during the party would use toilets frequently. The continuous flushing toilets would cause a similar problem as draining the hot tub.


  1. You should not install a pool over the drain field. The additional construction might obstruct proper functioning so you should check out the septic system location first and accordingly install the pool.


  1. Never drive cars or heavy machinery over the drain. The drain field pipes would be crushed so know the location of the tank and keep it marked to avoid any mistake.
