Did you know garbage disposals are NOT recommended with septic tanks?
Maintaining a healthy septic system is essential for any homeowner, but certain practices can unknowingly jeopardize its efficiency and longevity. One such practice is using a garbage disposal with a septic tank. While convenient, this combination can lead to a host of problems that may result in costly repairs and headaches down the line.
Don't let convenience compromise integrity!
Garbage disposals introduce a significant amount of solid waste into the septic tank.
This can overwhelm its natural processes and disrupting the delicate balance of bacteria essential for effective waste breakdown. As food waste accumulates in the tank, it increases the risk of clogs, backups, and reduced system efficiency. Moreover, the introduction of foreign bacteria from food waste can alter the tank's microbial composition, further compromising its ability to function optimally.
A note to homeowners...
Homeowners relying on septic systems have long been advised to avoid using garbage disposals altogether or, at the very least, to pump their tanks more frequently to mitigate the increased solid waste load. However, prevention is always preferable to costly repairs and maintenance.
That's where Double Flush Septic Services comes in.

Karen KirchnerJune 19, 2024Have been in my home 30 + years and Double Flush is hands down the best septic service I have ever dealt with...price, work quality and all around kindness.....it is hard to find this kind of service anymore....thank you Double Flush!!
Volodymyr Huver (VOVA)June 18, 2024Very fast, friendly and very good price!! Was scheduled for Tuesday but I asked if there was anyway if they could come sooner and I got a call on Monday saying they can come out, very satisfied
Tiffani RiterMay 30, 2024I'm really happy we had them come out. We don't know much about our septic system and Scott answered all of them, and gave us peace of mind. Happy to have a great company so close.
Michael BischofMay 16, 2024I bought a house a year ago with a septic system. Not my first one but since I wasn't sure how long it has been since it was last pumped, I called Double Flush. Scott came out and looked at my whole system and explained how it worked. They determined that I was good for another year and said no charge for the call. I was surprised since they could have just as easily pumped it like I asked and collected their fee. I am grateful for the peace of mind and I will definitely be calling them again.
Steve HannaApril 25, 2024They have an amazing customer service. Tried to schedule same day but not likely. But Tracy was doing her best to try to get it done.
Adrianne KasperApril 22, 2024They responded quickly, arrived exactly on time, got the job done very fast, and provided excellent service at a very reasonable price.
Sandy HansonApril 16, 2024WOW!! We had an emergency situation with our septic and after a few phone calls including the septic company we have used for 20 years no one was able to help us for a couple of days until we called Double Flush Septic Services! Tracey answered the phone, she was very kind and professional. She understood our emergency and said she was going to contact Scott to see if they could squeeze us into his busy schedule. She called us back within a couple of minutes and stated they could help us with our emergency! Within a couple of hours Scott was here at our home taking care of our situation. He was also SO very kind and helpful to answer all my questions and concerns. What a pleasant experience with a septic emergency! We now have a new septic system company that we will be using! We were SO impressed with the customer service that Double Flush Septic Services gave us from the initial call to our septic emergency being fixed. Thank you Tracey and Scott!! We would HIGHLY recommend this company!!
