What Causes Septic Failures

Infrequent pumping

Skipping pump-outs lets solids build up and flow into the drain field, clogging it over time.

Flushing the wrong things

Wipes, paper towels, grease and chemicals disrupt the bacteria that break down waste.

Roots and damaged pipes

Tree roots can crack pipes between the house and tank, causing blockages and backups.

Preventing Costly Septic Repairs

Pump the tank every three to five years, spread out laundry loads, keep grease and wipes out of the system, and avoid driving over the drain field. Routine care protects the system that handles everything your household flushes.
