Why a properly maintained septic system is necessary

Why a properly maintained septic system is necessary

A septic failure in Southwest Florida is a nightmare nobody wants to have. Numerous factors, including Southwest Florida’s hard water, can lead to failure requiring expensive repairs. A properly maintained septic system is essential to:
  • Manage waste without access to city sewers.
  • Prevent sewage backups into your home or yard.
  • Resist hard water damage to pipes, pumps, and drain fields.
  • Avoid costly repairs from neglect.

DIY tips for septic systems

Septic DIY is limited but there are a couple steps you can take to help prevent larger problems:
Use less water to ease tank load. Take shorter showers or install water saving dual flush toilets. To avoid blocking the system, don’t flush anything other than toilet paper (tampons, wipes, etc). Don’t use harsh toilet and shower cleaners. They kill beneficial bacteria that break down waste.

  • Septic tank overflows flooding your yard with sewage.
  • Drain field collapse from clogs leading to sewage backups.
