MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

Did you know your septic tank needs to be pumped out regularly to ensure it works effectively?
Many septic tank issues arise from incorrect items entering the system through the toilet, or kitchen sink. Only human waste and water should enter the septic system, such waste from toilets and greywater from sinks, showers, and washing machines. Using non-septic-safe treatments or dumping chemicals and grease down you drains can damage your septic system.
Other problems can be caused from, tree roots infiltrating the tank or absorption trench, excessive solid waste buildup, and driving or parking on the absorption trench. If you notice a foul smell coming from your septic or your toilets are not draining properly this could indicate there is a problem with your septic system or treatment plant.
