• If you live in a rural area, you probably have a
  septic tank instead of a pipe connection.
  Maintaining a septic tank is not difficult
  because newer systems work efficiently when you
  follow some basic rules.
• Plumber Lakewood knows very well how to keep a
  septic tank clean and smooth.

3

• Proper installation is the key.  The septic
  system must be properly installed by a Plumber
  Lakewood to avoid problems in the future. A good
  idea is to perform a soil test or percolation
  test to confirm that the soil will support a
  septic system. Also, verify that the property has
  the conditions required for a septic system that
  does not cause problems.

• Do not overload the septic tank and drainage
  area. The resident must check that there are no
  leaks in the faucets and bathrooms. If necessary,
  hire a Plumber Toms River for these repairs. It
  uses aerators in the faucets and reducing nozzles
  of flow in the showers to help reduce the
  consumption of water. Reduces water level in
  small laundry loads. Use a shifter to reduce the
  amount of water needed to flush the toilet.

5

• Do not use the toilet as a means of waste
  disposal. Never throw cat litter, disposable
  diapers, napkins, tampons, paper towel, damp
  towels, coffee beans, or cigarette butt into the
  toilet. Such objects obstruct septic tanks in
  less time than you can imagine.

6

• Do not discard grease in the drain. Fat can clog
  the septic drainage area, making it impossible
  for the floor to absorb liquids. If you put too
  much grease in the drain, you will need a new
  drainage area, which can be costly.

7

• Diverts rainwater from the septic drainage area.
  A soaked drainage area will not absorb and
  neutralize liquid waste. Plan the garden, roof
  chute, and drain so that excess water is diverted
  from the septic drainage area.

8

• Keep the septic tank away from the trees.
  Prevents root damage by keeping trees at least 30
  meters from a septic system. Trees with very
  aggressive roots, such as willows, must be
  further from the system.

9

• Minimizes the use of strong cleaners. Excessive
  use of strong cleaners kills beneficial bacteria
  in the septic tank, so solids will not break down
  as well.

10

• Avoid harmful chemicals. Varnish, paint
  thinners, engine oil, gasoline and other similar
  chemicals can ruin the system and are a danger to
  groundwater. Store used chemicals in suitable
  containers and dispose of them as needed.

11

• Protects the system from damage. Do not drive
  over the drainage area, build a structure over it
  or cover it with concrete or asphalt. Do not
  plant grass over the drainage area to minimize
  soil erosion.

12

• Have regular maintenance. Eventually, the solid
  waste must be pumped from the well. Many experts
  suggest that a family of four with a
  thousand-gallon septic tank should pump the well
  after three or five years of use.

• The plumber Toms River or plumber
  Lakewood experts claim that you never try to open
  a septic tank yourself as it contains dangerous
  gases and bacteria.
