Septic tank system basic care

·         Any non-biodegradable material such as, diapers, sanitary napkins, and general garbage should not be flushed into septic system.

·         If you use a garbage disposal, you will probably need to pump your septic tank more frequently.

·         Do not plant trees or anything except grass near the septic tank. Roots can damage your tank.

·         Do not allow vehicles, or any other large objects to go over your septic tank. Excessive weight can also damage your tank.

Septic tank lifetime and other issues

Some septic tanks like those made up of steel will decay overtime and may be left unnoticed if regular inspections are not made. So, consider concrete septic tank installation which is more durable and will last more than 40 years. Also, consider the structural integrity of your septic tank while building it.
