Your Garbage Disposal Unit Impacts Your Septic System

Using an in-sink garbage disposal can impact how often you need to pump your septic tank!

Are you getting your septic system pumped often enough?


How it Impacts Your Septic System 


Food waste is slowly digested by the good bacteria in your septic tank, which accumulates scum and sludge. If too much water enters your septic system, the tank will fill with solids, which can get pushed into the drain field and cause clogged pipes. Using a garbage disposal will increase how often you’ll need to get your septic system pumped to prevent clogging and reduce the risk of bacteria buildup.
