Septic Tank Maintenance In Southampton

Be careful what you put into your septic tank

Taking care of your septic tank is a good idea if you are concerned about the environment and have a modern-day septic system. The way you take care of it can mean the difference between having it run properly and having to have it replaced.

When deciding what type of products go down into your drain, there are several things to consider. First, anything that is not water-soluble should not go into your drains at all.

This includes grease and oil residues from cooking, paint solvents, and chemicals that are used for cleaning purposes, such as bleach or detergents designed specifically for use on toilets or sinks.

All these types of products can cause clogs in the pipes leading away from your home, which will affect how well they function over time, so do yourself a favor by keeping them out!

Don’t drain your septic tank into a ditch

This sewage system is designed to be underground, so it’s important that you don’t let any of the liquid flow into ditches or other bodies of water.

If you do, the water will become polluted, and it could even overflow if too much is released at once. You also risk clogging up your septic tank with solids from digging up the ground around where it’s located.

Keep records of your tank maintenance

Keeping records of when you last cleaned your septic tank, the last inspection, and when you last had your septic tank pumped out will help you keep on top of regular maintenance that needs to be done.

And you’ll not put yourself at risk of it overflowing … YUK!

Maintain a healthy lawn on top of your septic tank

Your septic tank will most likely be under your garden, so it’s important to maintain a healthy lawn on top of it and keep grass roots at least 15 cm away from the tank. If grassroots are closer to the tank, they can clog it and cause damage to pipes that connect it with other structures in your home or yard.

Grass will feed on soil nutrients in the septic tank, so cutting them back is important for the proper functioning of the system. And it’s not just the grass you need to take care of. Tree roots can also cause significant damage to the septic tank and to the drainage pipes running into it if allowed to grow too close.

Clean your septic tank annually to save money in the long run

If you’re looking to save money on your septic tank maintenance, it’s best to stick with the professionals. Septic tank cleaning is not a DIY job and can cost thousands of pounds if left unattended. However, Pro Drainage Group in Southampton offers septic tank cleaning services that won’t break the bank and will keep your system running smoothly for years to come.

If you’re worried about the price tag associated with hiring a professional company and are considering doing it yourself, remember that you’ll still have to pay for materials and equipment, it is likely to be very messy without professional equipment, and you could put yourself in harm’s way of a health hazard if you don’t know exactly what to do.

Of course, you can learn, but if something goes wrong, you may create a problem that is even more expensive to fix–it’s always better to leave this kind of job to the professionals who know exactly what they are doing and have all the equipment they need readily to hand.
