TIPS ON MAINTAINING YOUR SEPTIC SYSTEM

Septic Tank Cleanings

There are many benefits of regular septic tank cleanings (every three years or so – depending on use) and the cost of getting the tank pumped and cleaned and properly maintained is much less expensive than an emergency call and a new septic system let alone potential harm of sewage exposure. So if you’re money-motivated (aren’t we all), these are the big money benefits of septic tank cleanings:

1. Promotes the longevity of your septic tank. Stated differently – protects your investment with proper maintenance.

  • Regular maintenance prevents system failure
  • The longer you allow your system to fill with sludge the greater the risk of destroying your drain field.

2. Ensures optimal efficiency of your septic tank.
3. Regular septic tank cleanings can save you money in septic tank repair costs.

And if you’re more environmentally motivated:

4. Cleaning your septic tank ensures the health and safety of your family, your guests or your employees.
5. Keeping your septic tank properly maintained is the only way to make sure the local waterways stay sewage-free.

Septic Tank Cleanings: Frequency

We get it. We’re biased. We clean septic tanks for a living so we’re big advocates of keeping septic tanks properly maintained and regularly pumped, but you don’t need to take our word for it. Who doesn’t trust Bob Vila? On the Bob Vila site there is some good advice on septic tank cleaning and frequency:

While a septic system should be inspected annually, the number of people relying on the system often determines the frequency of pumping. For example, a home with a single resident may only need a pumping service every 5 years, while a home with two to three residents will likely need service every 3 to 4 years. A home with four or five residents will generally need to call a septic tank professional for pumping services within 2 years. – Bobvila.com

THINGS THAT SHOULD NEVER GO IN YOUR SEPTIC TANK

  • Grease
  • Rags and strings
  • Coffee grounds
  • Paper towels
  • Baby wipes
  • Sanitary napkins and tampons
 
  • Diapers
  • Cigarette butts
  • Antibacterial soaps
  • Trash
  • Condoms
  • Bandages
  • Dental Floss
  • Cat Litter
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Other non-degradable products

REDUCE EMERGENCY SEPTIC SERVICES WITH MAINTENANCE

You can do your part to keep your septic tank healthy and reduce the frequency of septic tank pumping with s septic service plan and preventative maintenance. First, don’t put anything down your septic system that is non-biodegradable, such as cigarette butts, diapers, paper towels, and more. Plus, installing an effluent filter, which helps to decrease the number of solids that leave the tank helps promote your septic tank’s health.

Doubleflush came out twice to pump. My socks in tank needed replaced. They recommended ASI who completely ruined my system when they cleaned the socks. Then double flush recommend wires from septic be brought above ground and recommended a electrician who completely screwed the electrical with the septic. I feel that once I ripped ASI on review- double flush was purposely causing issues. Never using again.

Scott was timely and extremely professional and personable. Our home was having backflow issues so we needed a flush quickly and Double Flush was able to accommodate. Scott followed up with us afterwards, explained the work that he did, and made sure we didn’t have any other questions. Price was reasonable as well. Highly recommend this company.
