When was the last time your septic system was inspected or serviced? An owner does not give their septic system much consideration until it starts to malfunction. An owner should have their septic system periodically inspected by a Septic Service in Stockbridge GA to reduce the chance of it malfunctioning.
A Homeowner’s Part
A homeowner can do their part of preventing breakdowns of the septic system by not rinsing grease and food into the drains. Items such as feminine hygiene products, excessive amounts of toilet paper should not be flushed down the toilet. Using liquid laundry detergent instead of powder will also help the septic system to continue to operate properly.
A homeowner should space their laundry out over several days. Flooding the septic system with excessive amounts of water causes stress on the drainage field. These minor adjustments will help to extend the life of their septic system.
Field Line Installation And Repair
Field lines travel from the house to a septic tank to the drain field. These lines can become clogged or cracked. They should be inspected and repaired by a Septic Service in Stockbridge GA. These lines will cause an environmental hazard if they are damaged and leaking sewage.
Septic Tank Pumping
Maintenance of the septic system includes pumping the tank on a regular basis. The septic system tank holds solids from a home that need to be manually removed by a pump truck. The size of the tank and the number of people living in the home will determine how quickly the tank will need to be pumped.
If the septic tank does not have the solids removed, the sewage can back up into a home or overflow into the drainage field. A septic service will remove the solids and safely dispose of them. Septic tank pumping is key to keeping the system functioning properly.
