It’s easy to forget about your septic tanks, that is until it fails, waste starts backing up in the bathtub, the drains are slow, or you notice a funny smell. Those few minutes to take care of your septic system pays off in the long run! For both your bank account and the environment.
When the average family of 4 home septic system fails, it could cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair or replace it. That is just the beginning, not only do you have to replace the landscaping, you have to consider soil and water contamination. The same water your family drinks.
Taking Care of Your Septic System Just Takes a Little Time and Effort
Using too much water over a short period of time can overwhelm a septic system. Be mindful and use water efficiently.
You can save tons of money in repairs just by having your system inspected every year and the tank pumped on a regular basis (about every 3 years).
Be mindful of what is going down the drain. Protect your system by not using the toilets or sink as a garbage can. Avoid cleaning paint brushes in the sink or allowing grease to go down the drain.
If your drains are slow, toilets backing up, the area over the drain field is wet, or you experience a foul odor, contact Orlando Septic Services before the situation gets worse.
Protect the delicate cycle of your septic tank by only use septic safe or organic cleaning products. Antibacterial cleaners kill the germs in your home, but also the good bacteria in your tank.
Be aware of what you plant over the drain field, the roots from plants and shrubs can wreck havoc on the drain field.
Don’t drive or park vehicles over the drain field or septic tank. It can compact the soil and even break the pipes.
It is worth the time to protect your family, investment, and environment. Contact Orlando Septic Services for an appointment today. Don’t forget to check out our money saving coupons!
