Regular Pumping: Schedule septic tank pumping every 3 to 5 years, depending on household size and water usage. This will prevent solids from accumulating and clogging the system.

Avoid Flushing Non-Biodegradable Items: Do not flush baby wipes, sanitary products, dental floss, or paper towels down the toilet. They can clog your system and should be disposed of in the trash.

Water Conservation: To prevent overwhelming the septic system, be mindful of water usage. Repair any leaks promptly, install water-efficient fixtures, and consider spreading out laundry loads during the week rather than all at once.

Septic Tank Inspections: Regular inspections can catch issues early before they become costly. Inspections assess the tank's condition, check for leaks, and ensure components are functioning correctly.

Keep Drainfields Clear: Do not plant trees or shrubs near the drainfield to prevent roots from infiltrating and damaging the pipes. Additionally, keep heavy vehicles and equipment off the drainfield to prevent soil compaction.

Chemicals and Additives: Only use septic-safe cleaning products. Avoid pouring chemicals like paint, solvents, or pesticides down drains. These products can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the tank which is essential for breaking down waste.

Professional Maintenance: Have a septic service company inspect and maintain your system as needed. Septic companies can provide advice specific to your system's type and age.
