septic system cleaningSeptic System Cleaning in Plant City – Septic system cleaning is an essential part of septic tank maintenance. If your system is not cleaned on a routine basis, it could lead to sewage water overflow back into your home, as well as costly repairs. Septic system cleaning should be done every 3 to 5 years, and you should have your tank checked every year to see if it needs to be cleaned or not.

You can extend the time between cleanings by following these tips:

  • Only flush toilet paper and human waste down your toilets. Anything other than those two things can cause clogs and faster buildup of the solid waste in your septic tank. The tank is not meant to handle things like cigarette butts, cotton swabs, diapers, and even facial tissues, so avoid flushing those down your toilet.
  • Avoid using your garbage disposal. Throw out food in the trash rather than putting it down the drain. Be especially careful of grease, which can harden and cause blocks in your pipes. The septic system is not really intended for food waste and it will fill up your tank much faster, meaning it will have to be cleaned out more frequently.
  • Avoid using too much water all at once. A septic tank has a set volume capacity, and if you are using too much water, the tank can get filled up fast. If it does, the only place for your water to go is back up your pipes. To avoid this problem don’t run the dishwasher and the washing machine and take a shower all at the same time.
  • Avoid putting harsh chemicals down your drains. Harsher chemicals and antibacterial soaps can disrupt the active bacteria working to break down the waste.

Following these tips will help keep your septic system in working order, but it doesn’t mean you won’t ever have to clean it.
