Septic systems aren’t as strong as you think

septic tank pumping South Lyon

Septic systems can be easily damaged because of what you flush. You should never flush chemicals, drain cleaners or anything other than toilet paper. You also shouldn’t do these things that could damage your tank:
 

  • Never pour grease or oils down your drains.
  • Don’t plant trees near the septic field. The roots will grow over time and might grow into the system.
  • Don’t park heavy vehicles on the septic field. The weight added to the soil that’s already over your septic system can cause pipes to rupture. 
  • Never dig or build on the septic field.
