Septic backups can result from a full tank, clogged pipes, excessive water use, or a drainfield that cannot absorb wastewater properly. Flushing wipes, grease, and other unsuitable materials can also contribute to blockages.
Help prevent problems:
Schedule routine inspections and pumping.
Avoid flushing wipes, grease, and non-biodegradable items.
Spread out laundry and other heavy water use.
Keep vehicles and heavy equipment off the drainfield.
If sewage backs up into your home, reduce water use and contact a septic professional promptly.
