Get Your Septic System Involved in Halloween With “Just Flush”
Halloween is almost upon us, and while we all love the traditions of checking out the newest decorations at the local pop-up stores and exercising creativity by making costumes, there’s one thing you probably aren’t thinking about:
Your Septic System.
Unless you’re dressing up as a septic worker (We personally think it’s a great idea for a costume party), there aren’t many reasons to get your toilets and tanks involved in the fun of the Halloween season.
Luckily for you, there’s a simple and easy way to give your septic system a little extra attention this fall: with “Just Flush” from BBB Septic.
Something Wicked This Way Comes
To understand why “Just Flush” can be a helpful part of your maintenance routine, it helps to understand how septic systems work.
Every time you flush a toilet, take a shower, or run the washing machine, wastewater makes its way into your septic tank.
Inside, solids settle to the bottom and begin to break down, while liquids continue to move through your system. Over time, sludge can build up. It’s a normal part of the process, but if it’s allowed to accumulate, it can contribute to unpleasant odors and other septic problems.
“Just Flush” and Treat Your Septic System
“Just Flush” is an all-natural septic sludge and odor eliminator designed to help maintain your septic system.
The best part is: Its name and its instructions are exactly the same. You put a water-soluble bag in the toilet and just flush once a month.
“Just Flush” has a powdered form of bacteria that helps target buildup and other organic waste while supporting the natural biological processes in your septic system, and one bag can maintain systems of up to a thousand gallons.
It’s also 100% non-toxic, non-pathogenic, and contains no Salmonella or E. coli bacteria. It’s a simple addition that keeps unpleasant odors and buildup at bay, instead of becoming the scary surprise you didn’t ask for.
“Just Flush” Isn’t a Cure-All
While “Just Flush” is a helpful part of your routine, regular septic maintenance is still important. A septic system is a major part of your property. In fact, in some cases, the septic system can be over three times the size of your home.
In other words: “Just Flush” is helpful, but it doesn’t replace professional inspections and pumping. If you haven’t had one since October of 2021, schedule a pump-out appointment today!
Think of “Just Flush” as an easy step toward keeping your system fresh between our professional services.
Up To Six Months of Septic Maintenance
With the holiday season coming up, thanks in part to Halloween ushering it in, there’s a good chance you’ll be pretty occupied with house guests and traveling until the end of the year and into 2027.
That’s why we offer “Just Flush” in a six-month supply bag.
That means you’re covered until April of 2027! Which, coincidentally, is about how long those ten-pound bags of Halloween candy seem to last, even if you end up handing out more than half of it at the local trunk-or-treat.
Don’t Feed the Monster
Every good Halloween movie has a monster. If you’ve ever watched one, you’ve probably spent half the movie joking about the characters. After all, they tend to make the exact bone-headed decision you knew they shouldn’t.
Luckily, this isn’t a horror movie, and you’re in control of your own story.
Your septic tank might be hidden underground and full of mysterious things, but there’s one important rule to remember.
Don’t feed it things it can’t handle.
- Flushable Wipes: They may be labeled ‘flushable,’ but that doesn’t mean they should be. They don’t break down like toilet paper and can cause clogs.
- Paper Towels: Designed to absorb and hold together, meaning they don’t dissolve quickly and can cause muck and buildup.
- Feminine Products: Tampons and applicators are not made to break down, and they can quickly cause blockages.
- Dental Floss: It can tangle around other debris and make blockages worse.
- Grease and Cooking Oil: These should never go down the drain. Hot oil hardens into a solid that can contribute to backups.
Toilets should be limited to human waste and toilet paper. If you wouldn’t expect to find it naturally breaking down in your septic tank, it’s probably better off in the trash can.
Who Ya Gonna Call? Odor-Busters!
Halloween is for corny horror movies, costumes, and candy.
It’s not for mysterious smells, backed-up toilets, or an unexpected swamp in your yard (Unless you’re running a very theme-specific haunted house… but we would recommend not going this route, because the Arkansas Department of Health may get involved).
Give your septic system a little treat this year with “Just Flush.” The gift that keeps on giving for six months.
One bag, once a month, and you’re giving your system a simple extra step toward staying fresh and maintained.
And if your septic system has already started acting haunted, don’t wait for the monster to come knocking. Be the one who knocks with BBB Septic, and let us help get things back under control.
Don’t worry, we won’t cross the streams.
