Protect your plumbing! 🚽❌
Your septic system is a delicate ecosystem of living bacteria that breaks down waste naturally. Flushing the wrong items can kill that bacteria, clog your inlet pipes, and cause a major sewage backup into your home.
Here are the top Septic No-Nos to keep out of your drains:
• "Flushable" Wipes: Despite what the packaging says, they do not break down and are the #1 cause of sudden line blockages.
• Cooking Grease & Oils: Pouring bacon grease down the sink solidifies inside your tank, choking your system.
• Chemical Drain Cleaners: Harsh chemicals wipe out the good bacteria your tank needs to function properly.
• Coffee Grounds & Food Scraps: Even with a garbage disposal, heavy solid foods fill up your tank twice as fast.
Keep your system healthy and your home protected! If you are overdue for a routine maintenance pump or need a system checkup, our local crew is here to help anywhere in Whatcom County.
