Extend the Life of Your Septic System

Do this:

• Schedule regular maintenance.
• Use liquid detergents.
• Know the location of your septic tank and components.
• Keep records of service or maintenance to your system.
• Use environmentally safe products.
• Use water sparingly and conserve. Avoid long showers and spread out laundry.
• Divert roof drains and surface water away from septic systems.
• Repair running toilets.

Don't do this:



• Dispose cigarette filters, feminine products, baby wipes, paper towels, cat litter, cooking grease or paint down drains or toilets.
• Use drain cleaners - they kill "good" bacteria needed in your system to break down solids naturally.
• Use powdered detergents. They don't break down and can re-solidify.
• Do more than a couple loads of laundry a day.
• Use a garbage disposal.
• Allow anyone to drive or park over any part of the system.
• Plant large shrubbery around your system including the lines running from your home. Roots can grow into the lines and tanks themselves and clog or destroy them.
