Keeping your septic system working smoothly and avoiding the problems that can arise every now and then takes a little vigilance and discipline. Septic construction companies can help you with pumping septic systems in Salinas and would like to offer you 8 helpful tips on keeping your septic system free of problems. Inside Plumbing Care Being smart about what you do inside your home with regard to the plumbing system can put you ahead of the game when it comes to the maintenance of your outdoor septic system. - Toilet - The only thing that should go down your toilet is toilet paper. Some products advertise their paper products as "flushable," but it's a better idea to throw these items in the trash can. Also, avoid pouring chemicals down your toilet.
- Garbage Disposal - Oil, grease, and non-food items should never be put into your garbage disposal. Most food items are okay to put down the disposal, but avoid large bones. Only put smaller bones into the garbage disposal.
- Sink Drains - In addition to the garbage disposal, oils and grease should not be poured down your sink either. These liquids should be poured into an empty container and thrown into the trash.
Outside Septic Maintenance Follow these tips for the septic tank and repair areas of your yard. - Septic Tank Access - Prepare a diagram of your septic system as it is laid out in your yard. Know where the tank and drain lines are located. Make septic tank access easier by using a water-tight riser for the access lid.
- Solids - The solids in your septic system should be pumped out occasionally to make sure the sewage is flowing freely and properly. A plumbing/septic system expert can help you with this.
- Drainfield Vegetation - It's important that the drainfield has adequate vegetative coverage, such as grass and other ground cover, to enable draining to work properly.
- Surface Water - Surface water should be directed and kept from the tank and drainfield so that it does not interfere with septic systems. Initial landscaping designs at the time your yards are created should take this into consideration.
- The Ground above Your Septic System - With regard to the septic system or repair area, cars and heavy equipment should be kept off and away. Also, pools, driveways, and home additions should also be kept off and away from the septic and repair area.
Follow these tips and call on experienced experts when you need help pumping septic systems in Salinas.
