There are plenty of things around your home that you use daily, but are they actually flushable? Non-flushable items like face masks, facial tissue, disposable diapers, paper towels, and more can clog your septic system! Find a full list of non-flushable items here.

Maintain Your Septic System with Septic Tank Pumping in Northville

One thing all septic systems have in common is requiring regular maintenance to perform efficiently. Septic maintenance includes inspecting the entire system every 1-3 years and pumping the tank every 2-3 years. The frequency for pumping your septic tank depends on the tank size, number of people in your household, the water habits and use, if a garbage disposal is used, and the number of solids accumulated in the tank. A rule of thumb is to pump the tank when the solids are two-thirds of the volume in the tank. 

If you’ve never pumped your septic tank, learn more about how that can cause issues later on here.

I’ve never pumped my septic tank, is that a problem?

It could be a problem!

According to the EPA, if you haven’t pumped your septic tank in several years, but don’t seem to be having any problems, it may mean:

1.     There could be minimal water use in your home, and/or the size of the septic tank and the biological activity maintains the solids at sustainable levels. This is rare but may occur when there are only one or two people living in a home.

2.     The tank has a leak and is discharging wastewater into the ground instead of into the drainfield.

3.     The tank is full of solids, which are slowly migrating and may eventually clog the drainfield. This may increase the cost of pumping the tank and may require replacing the entire drainfield if it becomes clogged. 

If you’ve never pumped your septic tank, learn more about how that can cause issues here.

Which Septic System is Best for Your Home?

Did you know that there’s more than one type of septic system? 

Did you know your lot size, house needs, and surrounding area all affect your septic needs? 

 

Your septic system can vary depending on a few factors. These systems are just a few of your options: 

 

●      The Septic Tank: A buried watertight tank designated and constructed to receive and partially treat raw domestic sanitary wastewater. 

●      Conventional System: A septic tank and a trench or bed subsurface wastewater infiltration system, the drain field.

●      Chamber System: serves as an alternative design to the gravel and stone drain field systems. The main advantage of the chamber system is the increased ease of delivery and construction

How to Extend Your Septic System’s Lifespan

Do you use an in-sink garbage disposal regularly? 

Do you know how to properly maintain your septic drain field? 

There are a few things you can do to properly maintain your septic system to extend its lifespan: 

• Inspect and pump frequently - knowing how often your system needs to be pumped and inspected will prevent clogging and wear on pipes. 
• Use water efficiently - when your household conserves water, less water enters your system, reducing the risk of malfunction 
• Properly dispose of waste - save your system by knowing what can’t be flushed or poured down the drain!
• Maintain your drain field - Leaving the area above and around your drain field clear will prevent the weight from damaging your system.
