Whether you live in Orange or Seminole county, septic tank maintenance is a must. The septic system is a delicate structure that unfortunately needs maintenance to work correctly. Here are a few things you need to avoid putting down the drain and toilet to eliminate many problems.
Cleaners, Detergents and Chemicals: When these items are put down the drain they leach out into the drain field can cause a potentially hazardous situation by killing the bacteria essential for decomposing solids.
Grease: Not only does grease clog pipes it filters into the drain field and makes it very difficult for it to absorb water. If the water coming from the septic system cannot be absorbed in the drain field, it will have to be replaced, which can be very costly.
Non-Degradable Materials: These materials consist of kitty litter, coffee grounds, feminine products, and even paper products such as paper towels. These items are difficult to decompose if they decompose at all. Materials from the garbage disposal are also filtered into the septic tank so use it carefully. Though the items in the garbage disposal can usually decompose, it can cause the tank to fill up quickly.
Drain Field: The drain field is soft so don’t drive or park on top of it, you can damage the pipes. Also don’t plant trees to close to it, the roots can grow into it and cause a host of problems.
