Start the coming New Year out right!
Put your septic system on a low grease, fat and oil free diet.
The health of your septic system depends on what you put in it. Grease, fat and oil are big no nos. The bacteria in your tank are designed to process waste and toilet paper and not much else.
Just like the arteries in the human body an overabundance of grease, fat or oil can solidify, like in the picture above and clog your septic system’s pipes and/or leach lines. The results are sewage backing up in to the house, a septic heart attack if you will.
Pumping your tank regularly can help prevent sludge and grease buildup, but prevention is the key. Keep as much grease, fat and oil from going down the drain as possible by depositing it in the trash instead.
