Septic Maintenance Jewell GA Checklist
One of the most essential things you can do is check your septic system for any issues. Don’t just rely on your own eyes, hire a skilled professional. Household septic tanks take quite a beating and must be repaired and fine-tuned every few years for efficient performance. Your system may have to be checked more often than others if you have a bigger home, a smaller sized septic tank, or you simply use your drains, washing machine, and/or toilet more than the average family.

What Does Septic Maintenance Jewell GA Entail?
When a septic service provider comes to your home, he or she will look for leaks or drips on the system, look at the sludge and scum layers in your septic tank, and perform cleaning, if necessary. At this time, you may also receive suggestions on other things you can possibly do to help keep your septic tank in working order. Professionals have equipments that they can use to determine if your septic tank is working properly.
Sometimes, you can hire the very same company to get the repairs to your septic tank and other times you can not.
Reducing Septic Maintenance Jewell GA
Many people are searching for ways to reduce the amount of septic maintenance that they have to do. This can be hard, because a traditional single-family home will use 70 gallons of water per person, daily. You can go upwards of 200 gallons of water per day if you have a toilet that leaks or runs. All of that water passes through your septic tank, making it function harder.
If you are trying to reduce the amount of septic tank maintenance that you do, consider investing in the following:
- High-Efficiency Toilets
- Faucet Aerators
- High-Efficiency Showerheads
- Smaller Washing Machines
- Energy Star Products
Another thing that you can do is use your toilets and drains for the things that they should be used for– namely paper products designed for the toilet and human waste.
That being said, cooking oil, nappies, dental floss, condoms, cigarette butts, pads, tampons, flushable wipes, cat litter, paper towels, paint, and pharmaceuticals are not really meant to be flushed down your toilet.
However, you don’t only have to be wary of flushing those items– you don’t want to put them down your sink either. There are tiny organisms that live in your septic tank, microorganisms that eat and treat the human waste. Certain things, like cooking oil, grease, cleaners, cleaning solutions, paint, drinks, or even mouthwash can interfere with these microorganisms. And even your garbage disposal can adversely impact these organisms!
