Beware Of What Goes Down The Garbage Disposal, Sink and Toilet
It’s so easy to toss everything down the garbage disposal and watch it disappear, but unfortunately, it can be harmful to your septic system. “If a garbage disposal discharges into a septic tank, it can place significant strain on the septic system. The amount of waste that enters the tank, particularly grease and suspended solids, will increase considerably. This load increase requires that the septic tank be pumped more often than would otherwise be required. The additional strain will also reduce the life span of the septic system,” according to the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors.
Pouring non-biodegradable material down the sink or toilet can disrupt the natural balance required to break down solids in the septic tank. Non-biodegradable substances include, grease, paint, pesticides, and oils. Ensure all non-biodegradable products such as paper and baby diapers are disposed of the trash.
