Septic System Maintenance and Tips

Posted on January 14, 2013 by admin

Failures in your septic system will have negative implications on your family’s health. This can be unsightly, produce foul smell, as well as contaminate your well water. It’s for this reason that septic system maintenance is of great importance.

Septic system maintenance isn’t difficult

All you need is to follow some basic tips such as diverting rainwater from your septic drain field. A soggy drain field will not absorb and neutralize the liquid waste, so ensure you divert excess water away from the septic drain field.

Avoid overloading your drain field and septic tank. You should for instance try reducing the amount of water required to flush your toilet, reduce the amount of water used for your small loads of laundry, as well as reduce the amount of water you use at the shower.

You should avoid disposing garbage to your septic tank, because they will clog the tank in no time. Never flush disposable diapers, cat litter, sanitary napkins, paper towels, cigarette butts, or facial tissues. Your septic system should only have tiny particle waste, which is easier for it to digest.

As part of septic system maintenance, you should also minimize on the use of heavy duty cleaners as they kill beneficial bacteria in your septic tank. Such bacterial helps in the breakdown of solid waste. Avoid hazardous chemicals such as vanish, gasoline, paint thinners, and motor oil, because they ruin the septic system. You should also avoid pouring grease down the drain, as it makes it impossible for the soil to absorb liquids.

Having dense grass cover or other shallow rooted plants over your septic tank is beneficial. However, keep trees away from your septic tank because their roots can clog the system or break the pipes.

The septic tank should be pumped every 2 to 5 years, based on the use. This prevents particles of sludge or scum flushing out of the tank and clogging the drain tiles. You should hire a professional to clean your tank.

The Dog and the Clog

Posted on January 14, 2013 by admin

Christina got the call at work.

“I swear, I was only gone for five minutes!” her thoroughly flustered husband explained. “I had just given the kids their lunch. I left to go to the bathroom. When I came back downstairs, they had smeared peanut butter all over the dog.”

The situation seemed straightforward enough to Christina. “Give the dog a bath,” she told him.

He did. Unfortunately, instead of taking their golden retriever outside and bathing her in the wading pool, her husband lathered up the besmeared pooch in the bath tub.

Needless to say, the next call Christina got was that the tub wouldn’t drain. It wasn’t going to drain with plunging. It wasn’t going to drain with a bottle of drain cleaner. This drain needed professional help.

Fortunately, professionals like the folks at Lake Norman Sewer & Septic have the tools and the know-how to deal with situations like this. A quick snaking cleared out the gooey dog hair, and the tub was soon draining normally.

It doesn’t take a move straight out of a situation comedy to clog a drain. Sometimes it’s just the accumulation of hair and products from innumerable showers. Sometimes all the grease and food bits from dinner plates congeal. Sometimes an outside drain is blocked thanks to a tree root. Lake Norman Sewer & Septic can help.

Cornelius Septic – Quality Work With A Quality Company

The Intricate Art Of Septic Installation And Repair
There’s much more to septic installation than meets the amateur eye. This is the reason septic installation, replacements and repair should never be left to chance. Septic experts are fully knowledgeable of regional terrain and septic excavation depths. Add to this design and planning, state-of-the-art excavating equipment and fully-trained operators and the entire installation or repair process creates the picture of a top quality septic company.

Experience Is Key To Quality
Experience is always the first priority when seeking septic professionals. These experts have accumulated years of experience that’s immediately evident in their efficient, quality work and timely response to their customers needs. A serious septic problem requires immediate attention. Ignoring regular maintenance may result in far more costly repairs. At the time of new installation or replacement check with the septic experts on an annual plan of maintenance.

Fast, Reliable Service
If a septic repair or replacement becomes necessary, look for a quality, licensed company that offers professional consultations and an estimate of work needed. This takes the guesswork out of cost for labor and equipment. This is also a good time to check the company’s liability insurance. Professional septic consultants will take the time to discuss the work in detail and the time involved in the project. This is another reason to look for a quality company with a good history of work in the local area.

Septic Reviews
Very often when a repair becomes evident, the septic professional may find other problems that require attention. This may include testing the integrity of the tank as well as leak testing and detection. This is one benefit of using a top quality company. They know specific water tables of the area and the effect on underground septic tanks. Long-term experience provides them with the ability to judge the seriousness of any changes to the area surrounding the septic tank. A full report will be provided and discussed with customers as a follow up to the review.

Cost vs. Expertise
In most cases, the quality professional consultant will offer several options and price ranges for customers so they have a better assessment of variables for each option. A full warranty arrangement will be provided when all work has been completed. It’s reassuring to know that the work performed and equipment installed, repaired or replaced is high quality and carries a full warranty.
