Before hosting a large party, have the septic tank pumped out, especially if it has been a while since it has been done. This will help prevent an accident as well as avoiding inadvertently overloading the system.

In a properly working septic tank, there are three levels; on top is the scum – grease, oils, other materials lighter than water; a clear effluent in the middle; and solid waste on the bottom. Only the effluent should be exiting the tank.

Drain lines from the home to the septic tank can become clogged by waste material, roots, or from partial or complete collapse. Having a trained septic technician run a snake through the line is the most effective method of identifying the problem.

Ever wonder what happens to the stuff from the septic tank? After we pump it out, we take the waste to a proper treatment facility where it is safely processed according to local and EPA guidelines.

If your septic tank is constantly filled to within a foot of the top, it may be time to consider replacement. Pumping it out is a temporary fix and, besides delaying the inevitable, more serious problems could arise.

Because an inlet tee slows water when it enters in order to prevent agitation and disruption of the three layers in the tank, it is best to set the depth of the bottom of the pipe to just short of halfway into the tank. This should clear the scum layer yet not stir up the bottom sludge.

Waiting too long to clean a septic tank can result in more damage than just a sewage backup into your home. The inside of the tank can corrode or the leach field can become polluted.

If you have faucets that drip or toilet tanks that leak, you will need your septic system pumped more frequently. These seemingly minor problems add to daily water usage and contribute to more rapid filling of the tank.

Drain lines from the home to the septic tank can become clogged by waste material, roots, or from partial or complete collapse. Having a trained septic technician inspect the system is the most effective method of identifying the problem.

The septic distribution box (aka D-box) connects the effluent line to the network of leach lines in the absorption system, or to seepage galleys or pits, and is used to regulate the rate of flow to the lines.

Garbage disposals are not recommended for homes with septic systems. The finely ground products will float on the surface of the water and make their way into and clog lines. Consider composting vegetable matter and disposing of animal by-products.

Adding a gray water system to your home’s plumbing will improve the overall performance of the septic system. Gray water lines can be laid out so that your gardens, shrubs, and lawns can be watered by it.
