If you are selling your home, you can use your septic system as a selling point. Have it inspected and bring it up to code, making all the necessary improvements and changes. Once this is done, make sure potential buyers are aware of it. All things being equal, buyers will select the structure with the better septic system.

Some septic systems utilize a pressure dosing effluent removal system build that uses drip lines. These systems employ a network of drip trenches with pipes to receive effluent from the pumps at a rate sufficient to allow slow dripping into the trench and, subsequently, the soil.

Be careful when planting trees on your property. If they are placed too close to the septic drain field, there is a tremendous risk of root invasion into the lines in the field. If this happens, either the trees will need to come down or the drainage field moved.

Septic tank owners can maintain their system by not pouring grease or hazardous chemicals down the drain, keeping the septic tank uncovered by swimming pools or asphalt, and not planting grass on the drain field. Some professionals recommend an enzyme to add advantageous bacteria to your septic system.
