Septic Tanks

Keep Your Septic System Running Smoothly with Proper Care & Maintenance

Maintaining your septic system is essential to ensuring proper performance. It will also reduce the chance of costly repairs and help keep your family safe. You should inspect the septic tank riser and adapter ring once a season. Check the septic tank cover too, as any cracks or holes can allow debris or small animals to get inside. Your septic tank filter should be cleaned or replaced whenever the tank is pumped to prevent solids from leaving the tank.

Use a septic cleaner to help eliminate odours and inhibit sludge buildup. These can be found in natural, environmentally safe formulations. Septic treatments are also available to help maintain a healthy system. They include yeasts, natural bacteria, and enzymes that enhance the bacterial flora, control biomass, and reactivate dormant septic systems. Use a sewer line cleaner to prevent grease and sludge from accumulating in your sewer lines. Septic cleaners and deodorizers are also available for outdoor toilets, RV septic tanks and marine systems.
