Although septic tanks will always need to be cleaned at a certain point, you can take actions to help minimize their impacts on pipes and septic systems. There are a few hazardous materials that you should avoid flushing down toilets or washing into drains in order to keep your septic system running smoothly, including:
· Flushable wipes
· Cat litter
· Chemicals
· Sanitary napkins or tampons
· Paper towels and napkins
· Diapers
· Grease or cooking oil
· Hair
· Prescription medications
· Cotton balls, Band-Aids, and other personal care items
Contact an experienced septic cleaning service in your area as soon as you notice any issues flushing or draining sinks in your home or business. Your best bet for a clean septic system is routine maintenance every 2-3 years. Mark it on your calendar and never miss scheduled maintenance!
