Septic Tanks Are More Cost-Effective And Better For The Environment

Here is the big question. Are septic systems better for the environment than sewage treatment plants? Without a doubt, a correctly installed septic system is more cost-effective and better for the environment. Additionally, the naturally occurring bacteria in a septic tank can work to decompose the waste not just reduce it. But like any appliance or fixtures in our home, a septic tank needs to be maintained and periodically inspected. If a homeowner chooses not to take care of their septic system, it can become a problem in our surrounding ecosystem. Septic tank inspections are recommended every 3 to 5 years.

Maintenance Goes a Long Way

Below are some easy steps that will keep your septic tank working correctly:

Always have a drawing of your septic tank and leach field handy. Be sure to include the location of each.
Have an InterNACHI trained septic tank inspector complete an inspection every three years.
As needed, have your septic tank pumped every three to five years.
Dispose of hazardous waste properly, and never down a sink or toilet.
Never dispose of household items down any drain. For example, diapers, condoms, dental floss, cat litter, and feminine hygiene products should never enter your septic system.
Never plant trees or shrubs over your leach field. If roots enter your leach field, it can become compromised.
Only plant grass near your septic system.
Keep livestock and vehicles away from your leach field and septic system. The weight by either could be damaging.
Don't allow gutters or sump pumps to drain onto or near your septic system.
When using additives, check with your local health department first. Additives do not eliminate the need for periodic pumping and can be harmful to your system.
