Q: How can I tell if my septic system is failing?
A: Drainfield failure is usually indicated by either the backing up of sewage into the home, by surfacing effluent in the drainfield area, or by slow draining household fixtures.  When this occurs, the septic tank may need pumping or the drain field's ability to handle the inflow may be decreasing.

Q: How can I prevent or delay drain field failures?
A: Sooner or later all drain field systems will fail. Because a drain field is basically an underground filter, eventually the filter will clog. The homeowner needs to be careful about the materials flushed into the septic tank. Some of the things to keep in mind are: 

·                Reduce the amount of wastewater discharged into the system by

changing use habits or utilizing water conservation devices.

·               Be careful of the types and amounts of harmful materials flushed into the tank. Materials such as oil, grease, fat, matches, cigarette butts, paper products, disposable diapers and sanitary napkins, should not be flushed into the septic tank.

·               Pump the septic tank regularly every 2 to 3 years.

Q: Will bleaches, drain cleaners and detergents harm the bacteria in the tank?
A: When used in normal quantities, household cleaning products should not have harmful effects. Pesticides, herbicides, paint, solvents or oils should not be disposed of in the septic system. Remember that bacteria is necessary for the proper function of the system. The less bacteria killing cleaners and chemicals going down you sink, the better for your septic.

Q: Do septic tank additives help?
A: Chemicals, yeasts, bacteria enzymes or other substances cannot eliminate or reduce the solids or scum in a septic tank so that periodic cleaning becomes unnecessary. Addition of chemicals is not recommended under normal circumstances. However, certain additives can be beneficial to the health of your system. Talk to us to find out more.
