Is your septic tank ready for the holidays? Can you imagine your bathtub backing up with raw sewage while all your friends and family are sitting down for a beautiful dinner. Or your toilets aren’t flushing, or the distinct foul odor of a septic problem.
Don’t let this happen to you!
Your septic system is probably the last thing on your mind this time of year, but it can easily ruin the festivities. Just a few simple preventative maintenance can ensure your holidays are bright.
When was the last time you had your septic tank pumped out? Before you start having friends and family over it is important to have your septic tank pumped and any routine maintenance taken care of.
An inspection by the professionals at Orlando Septic Services can catch and repair any issues before the guests arrive.
If you plan on having lots of people over, consider using festive disposable plates and silverware, to reduce using a large amount of water and causing stress on your septic tank. Also, do the laundry a couple of days before, take shorter showers and even prepare food ahead of time, little things can make a huge difference.
Garbage disposals and septic systems don’t mix! All the extra waste can cause big problems for the septic system. Instead, ‘Go Green’ and have a small compost on the counter, you can even decorate it for the holidays.
Be mindful of your drain field. Too much weight can damage the drain field, so don’t drive vehicles or park over the septic system.
The small price of having your septic system inspected and pumping the tank can avoid a lot of problems later! And thousands of dollars on repairs, many of which could have been prevented.
