Whether you live in Casselberry, Lake Mary, Altamonte Springs, Sanford, Oviedo or anywhere in the Orlando area, septic tanks which are poorly maintained or not properly installed can potentially cause environmental issues by polluting ground water as well as your water supply. Once the ground water has been compromised it can be very costly and difficult to make the water fit for human consumption, not to mention the smelly situation it can create along the way! This is why there are such strict laws and regulations concerning septic systems.
The home or business owner is responsible for their sewage treatment unit. Failing to keep up with proper maintenance can lead to slow-moving drains, back flow, over flowing tank, foul smells, and swampy drain fields.
Just taking a few simple steps will keep your septic system working efficiently and keep messy problems away.
Have your septic tank pumped regularly: How often you have your septic tank pumped and cleaned depends on how much use it gets and the size. Pumping gets rid of the solid materials as well as the bio hazardous materials that builds up on the walls of the tank, both breaks down the efficiency of the septic tank.
Be careful of what you put down the drain and toilet. Don’t flush paper products, plastics, metals, or personal hygiene products down the toilet. These materials don’t degrade very easily if at all and end up taking up valuable space meant for incoming waste. Household chemicals washed down the drain kill healthy bacteria inside the tank, prohibiting the ability to properly break down solid waste.
