How can I prevent a septic system failure?

To prevent septic system failure, follow these key tips:

  • Reduce garbage disposal use to lower biological oxygen demand; instead, dispose of food waste in compost or trash to ease the strain.

  • Maintain insulation in cold regions, bury the system deeply, position it near the house, and avoid shaded, snow-prone spots.

  • Skip unnecessary chemical additives for septic tanks; a thriving microbial population will naturally establish and flourish in the tank.

  • Avoid excessive disposal of harmful substances like bleach; usual quantities of cleaning agents and detergents are typically harmless.

  • Schedule regular pump maintenance every few years, tailored to household size, usage, and the quality of the system.
