Every Orlando, Seminole & Volusia County area home and business use lots of water every day, from showers, sinks, to the laundry, and toilets. All the water goes down the drain to the septic tank and ends up in the drain field. If any of these pipes become clogged or the septic system has problems, it can wreak havoc on the property.
There are a few simple ways to avoid issues with your septic system and drains
The drain is not a garbage can! One of the easiest ways to avoid clogged drains and septic problems is to be mindful what you put down the drain. Grease, oil, food, paint, floss, and even chemicals should not go down the drain. Not only do they cause clogs, damage the pipes, they upset the natural balance in the septic tank.
Use traps on the drains. This small device in the bathtubs and kitchens can save a ton of frustration! By trapping food particles in the kitchen and hair in the bathroom, you can avoid the drain becoming clogged and solids ending up in the septic tank.
Call in the professionals. The sooner you address slow drains, foul odors, or gurgling toilets, the easier and less expensive they are to repair.
Jetting the drain. Roots from trees seek out water, if you have large trees on your property, it may be necessary to have your drains cleared out. Jetting is able to clear any debris from the pipes such as tree roots and grease build-up, without hurting the pipes. Many commercial products that claim to clean drains use chemicals that are harmful to pipes and can cause more problems, like disrupting the delicate balance in the septic tank.
There is no job too big or small for the professionals at Orlando Septic Service. Clogged drains are a common issue that can lead to a serious problem, bacteria growth and sewage back-ups.
