Septic System Maintenance by Gee's Drain Rooter Service Llc

Avoid These Septic System Mistakes

Non-biodegradable items such as feminine hygiene products, disposable diapers, 'flushable' wipes, paper towels, cotton balls, dental floss, and cigarette butts should be avoided in your septic system. Additionally, grease, fats, and oils can clog pipes and the drainfield, leading to costly plumbing service calls. Food waste, including coffee grounds and food scraps, should also be kept out, as these items can overwhelm your system much like a garbage disposal might. It's important to avoid harsh chemicals, such as drain cleaners, paint, varnishes, thinners, pesticides, and motor oil, as they can kill the beneficial bacteria that treat wastewater in your septic system. Medications and other pharmaceuticals can harm this crucial bacteria and contaminate groundwater, so proper disposal is essential. Limit the use of excessive chemicals, including strong cleaners and disinfectants, as even antibacterial soaps can disrupt the balance of bacteria in your system. Lastly, other items like cat litter, plastics, and condoms should be kept out of your septic system to ensure it operates efficiently.
