Are You Having Septic Tank Problems?

 

Septic tank problems are never fun, and when you notice that your septic tank is not functioning the way it should, it’s time to call a reliable, plumber for expert help. It can be costly to fix septic systems, but it doesn’t have to be. Septic tank problems, when they occur, can be as simple as a clog in the pipes or as complicated as structural damage caused by tree roots. No matter what caused the problem, a professional can come in and help you get everything back on track without cost to you or your wallet.

Never put wet wipes, feminine products, paper towels, or anything but toilet paper in the toilet. Such products could end up clogging your septic tank and making your drainage system clog as well. In addition, you should never put any plastic bags, straws, diapers, or cigarette butts into your toilet. Such materials can easily break down and Leach acidic substances into your sewage water, causing damage to your septic tank.

Regular septic tank maintenance is important for keeping your drainage system working properly. Heavy rains or snow loads can cause severe damage to your septic tank. To avoid such problems, address drain maintenance as soon as possible. For drains located under meters, it is important to have a professional drain cleaning service to maintain your septic tanks at least twice a year.

To promote proper septic tank maintenance, you should invest in solid materials like limestone, rock salt, Epsom salt, and perlite. These natural materials can break down solids deposited into your sewage water, promoting the decomposition of waste material in your septic systems. Liquid wastes, on the other hand, tend to build up slowly in septic tanks.

But most importantly, get in touch with professional plumbers that can give you specific advice for your particular septic tank problems. For maintenance and inspections call us today to help with any of your plumbing needs.
