Tips on Maintaining Your Septic System
Pay attention to how often you run your household appliances. Try spacing out bathing and loads of laundry. Run the dishwasher during the night to give your system time to process the water load.
Other sources of water, such as water treatment and filtration systems, water softeners, furnace condensate, rain water leaders, downspouts, eavestroughs, weeping tiles, and sump pump discharges are considered to be gray water and must not be discharged to a private sewage disposal system. This is crucial to preserving the life of your system.
INSPECT BEFORE YOU BUY
Buying a home with a septic system? Hiring us to do a septic inspection prior to your purchase is the most cost-effective way to ensure that the system is functioning well and that there are no warning signs of trouble. Discovering that you have purchased a home with a malfunctioning septic system that could cost you thousands of dollars in repairs is not the housewarming gift you want to receive. Because we are licensed designers and installers, we have a full understanding of the entire septic system and each component in order to perform a visual inspection of the tank and tile field and provide you with a written report immediately.
