If you’ve had your Orlando area septic system for years or if you’ve never had to deal with one before, knowing how to take care of it, keeping track of maintenance, knowing what to do and not to do, is vital to every household and health of every family.

Handling Water

The septic system installed in your home is designed to handle the water usage based on the number of bedrooms on the property. For instance, a septic system for a home with three bedrooms is designed to handle the on site sewage processing and waste water for four people.

If you entertain a lot or have more people living in the home make sure you’re careful about water usage. Here are a few helpful tips for reducing water usage.

Don’t do all the laundry all in one day, spread it out over the week.

Use low flush toilets, water saving devices whenever possible.

Clean the lint trap for your washing machine regularly or install one if you don’t have one.

Ensure you don’t have any drains or gutters aimed at the drain field.

Use the garbage disposal sparingly.

Septic System Maintenance

Regular maintenance and inspection not only ensures your septic system is working properly, you also can avoid emergencies and costly repairs.

Keep an accurate record of all services done on the system.

Keep record of all maintenance and septic tank pump outs.

Keep a copy of your current inspection.

Have your septic tank pumped out every 3 to 5 years.

Know the location of all the key components of your septic system.

Have the system inspected regularly, including equipment, pumps and siphons.

Make sure roots from trees and plants don’t enter the drain field.
