Your septic system is meant for human waste and wastewater, and not everything that goes down the toilet. Flushing the wrong material may interfere with normal treatment, overfill the tank, and lead to clogging.
Rooter Septic Services urges homeowners to pay attention to their drains and what goes into them before it turns into an expensive problem. These mistakes can be easily avoided.
As the name implies, flushable wipes can take a long time to break down and can clog pipes or build up in the tank. Using them regularly can raise the chances of clogs even if they are packaged as "flushable. Dispose of the used wipes properly in the trash.
Unlike toilet paper, paper towels are made to be able to withstand moisture. If flushed, especially if mixed up with other debris, they can cause blockages. Do not flush them down the toilet but place them in your household waste.
As soon as grease and cooking oil cool, they harden and build up in pipes, reducing the flow of wastewater. This can cause a thick layer of scum to form in the tank as well. While regular septic tank pumping clears off scum and solids, it's better to prevent grease from entering the system.
Coffee grounds won't dissolve in water. They settle as solids and can cause buildup in the tank. These can also settle in household plumbing if poured down a sink. The suitable way is to compost or safely discard them. Plus, keeping unnecessary solids out is another part of proper septic cleaning.
Cat litter has the ability to absorb water, expand, and create heavy material that plumbing and septic systems are not prepared to deal with. Even so-called "flushable" litter can cause trouble if used over and over again. With regular septic tank pumping, these solids can be controlled, but litter should never enter the septic tank.
Homeowners may not know what they need for practical maintenance, but with the help of Rooters Septic Services, it will be easier.
Tampons, pads, and other similar products hold water rather than quickly absorb it. A home can experience significant plumbing problems if they are flushed. Do this instead: after tightly wrapping them, place them in a lined trash can.
After all, keeping large objects out of the tank is a good septic cleaning practice.
Dental floss doesn't break down easily. It may tangle around debris and cause blockages. A dependable septic company can educate homeowners about common septic disposal mistakes.
The chemicals, paints, solvents, and pesticides used in the household can also disturb the microorganisms that treat the wastewater. Be sure these materials are safe before pouring them into drains or toilets.
If you're not sure, you can reach out to a qualified septic company to help you identify the right disposal.
Your toilet is not a household trash can. For that, reduce the need for unnecessary strain by keeping unwanted items out of the system.
At Rooters Septic Services, we do urge homeowners to take simple precautions every day to keep the septic system in good working order. If you need help evaluating your plumbing, our experts are minutes away from your location. Feel free to get in touch!
