Summer is septic season! With extra laundry, guests, cookouts and water use, your septic system works overtime this time of year. Here are a few tips to keep things flowing smoothly all summer long:
- Keep downspouts away from drain fields
- Spread out laundry loads
- Keep grease, fats and food scraps out of drains
- Don’t flush wipes, paper towels or “flushable” products
- Stay on schedule with regular septic pumping and maintenance https://crpumpers.com/septic-services/
A little prevention now can help you avoid messy (and expensive) problems later. Enjoy summer — and let your septic system do the same!
