Septic Service
Septic Services
If you own a septic system, it is important that it be properly maintained. How often you need to pump the solids out of your septic tank depends on three major factors:
1. The volume of solids in the wastewater (e.g., using a garbage disposal will increase the amount of solids)
2. The number of people in your household
3. The amount of wastewater generated (based on the number of people in the household and the amount of water used)
Make sure that you don't put these items down your septic tank if you want to take good care of their septic systems. These items can overwork or destroy the biological workings taking place within the spetic system or clog pumps and pipes.
