Preventative Tips for Septic System Longevity
Maintain your septic system and avoid emergencies by following these best practices:
- Don’t flush coffee grounds, baby wipes, cigarette butts, cat litter, or grease/fats/oil.
- Monitor water usage — excessive flow stresses your system.
- Schedule regular septic inspections and pumping before issues arise.
- Avoid driving heavy vehicles over your septic tank or drain field.
- Plant trees and shrubs away from your drain field to prevent root intrusion.
With preventative care, your septic system can last several decades.
