Summer is busy, with cookouts, get-togethers, and home projects, and your septic system gets busy too. Home or business, your septic system needs care to keep running, and in summer that goes double. On top of its regular care, here are three things to keep in mind:
As always, watch what goes down your pipes
While you might already know what your septic system can and can’t handle, your house guests might be a little less in the know. Before your guests start flushing harsh chemicals or other materials, make sure you give them a rundown of what can and can’t go into the septic tank.
Think about a pump-out before the party
Planning a summer get-together? That's great! Just remember, more guests means more flushing. To get ahead of it, schedule a pump-out before the party.
Be careful when landscaping
It's a great time of year for landscaping, but keep in mind where your septic tank is, both for what you're planting and for any heavy equipment. You don't want roots getting into the system, or that heavy equipment parked on your tank.
