3 Drainage Mistakes You Might Be Making with Your Septic System

Septic Services LakelandPosted bySeptic Services LakelandAugust 20th, 2021

Homeowners who neglect their septic systems, leach fields, and drainage systems often end up having to pay for their errant ways. Repairs could cost hundreds of dollars, and if you need to get a new septic system, this will cost thousands of dollars. Responsible maintenance does a lot more than preventing clogs in your drains – it actually extends the lifespan of a septic system.

Many people don’t even know they are not paying attention to their septic systems. Below are 3 ways you could be causing damage to your drainage system and your septic tank.3 Drainage Mistakes You Might Be Making with Your Septic System

  1. Not Scheduling Regular Septic Tank Pumping: Do you know just how important routine service is? You should schedule septic tank pumping every 2 to 3 years, even if your drainage and tank seem to be running properly. This can add many years to the life of your system. Moreover, it allows a professional to check for any issues before they become environmental or safety hazards.
  2. Using Chemical-Based Cleaners in the Home: These can actually cause problems in a septic system. Harsh chemicals like bleach can kill the good bacteria in a septic tank. This renders the system unable to efficiently break down clogs and waste.
  3. Ignoring Red Flags:  It’s surprising how many people don’t know what the signs of a failing septic tank are. If you have persistent clogs, foul smells in your kitchen or bathroom, backed up toilets or slow moving drainage, you should schedule an inspection immediately. These are all indications that the pipes are not draining as they should. Moreover, they could be symptoms of a more serious problem.
