Septic Tips!

- Keep it protected and get it inspected (on average every three to five years).
- Don't strain your drain. Use water efficiently to avoid overtaxing your system. Fix household leaks, run the dishwasher and clothes washer on full loads, and consider installing high-efficiency fixtures.
- Think at the sink. Don't pour grease, fats, or harmful chemicals like paints and solvents down your sink. They can clog or harm your system.
- Don't overload the commode. Do not flush non-degradable items such as dental floss, diapers, coffee grounds, or feminine hygiene products.
- Shield your field. Care for your drain field by only planting grass, not driving or parking on it, and reducing roof and surface water drainage near the drain field.

A little knowledge goes a long way in protecting your pipes and avoiding costly repairs. Remember: only flush human waste and toilet paper. Everything else from wipes to plastics should go in the trash.
