How to Maintain a Septic System
A failing septic system is not like your car when it is low on oil, NO RED LIGHT will go on to warn you of a problem. The U.S. Dept. of Health, Education and Public Health states: “A septic system will serve a home satisfactorily only if it is properly designed, installed, and adequately maintained. Even a good system which does not have proper care and attention may become a nuisance and a burdensome expense. Remember, a septic tank-soil-absorption system which does not function properly frequently becomes a neighborhood health hazard”. Pollutants from a poorly functioning system can cause very serious damage to the environment and our drinking water supplies. It is very important to have ECONO SEWER & DRAIN, LLC remove the buildup of solids before they reach the level of the outlet piping. Solids entering and clogging the soil absorption area is the number one reason of system failure.
