Know What Not To Flush

What you put into your septic system greatly affects its ability to do its job. As a general rule of thumb, do not dispose of anything in your septic system that can just as easily be put in the trash. Remember that your system is not designed to be a garbage disposal!

Pump Your Tank Regularly

Pumping your septic tank is probably the single most important thing you can do to protect your system. If the buildup of solids in the tank becomes too high and solids move to the drain field, this could clog and strain the system to the point where a new drain field will be needed.

Inspect Your Septic System Every Year

Inspecting your septic system annually provides the finest method to monitor your system's health. Inspections can reveal problems before they become serious. Schedule a routine check-up with Ray's Septic Service, and they'll provide your entire home with a thorough analysis. They'll check the levels of sludge and scum in your tank, and provide a more accurate idea of how often it should be pumped.

Protect Your Septic System

Finally, it is important to protect your septic system from potential damage. Don't plant anything but grass near your septic system. Roots from shrubs and trees can cause damage. Also, don't allow anyone to drive or operate heavy machinery over any part of the system. Remember that grass is the most appropriate cover for the drain field.
