Myth: “Flushable” wipes are safe for your septic system.
Fact: They’re one of the top causes of clogs and backups.

Even wipes labeled “flushable” don’t break down like toilet paper. Instead, they can build up in your tank and pipes, leading to costly problems over time.

April showers might bring May flowers, but they can also put extra pressure on your septic system!

When the ground becomes saturated from heavy rain, your drain field has a harder time doing its job. That means excess water from things like long showers, laundry, or running the dishwasher can add even more strain to the system.

During especially rainy weeks, it’s a good idea to spread out water use and make sure things like gutters and sump pumps are directing water away from your septic area.

Spring tip for Finger Lakes homeowners: Never park or drive over your septic system, especially during thaw season.

Right now the ground is saturated and soft, and the weight of vehicles can cause serious damage to your tank or crush the pipes leading to your drain field. If you're not sure exactly where your system is located, now is a great time to find out.

We can help you identify the location during a service visit - a crushed pipe or cracked tank is an expensive repair that's completely preventable.
