Let Us Help You Maintain Your Septic System

Maintaining your septic system is also essential for it to perform its best. • Pumping your septic tank is the single most important thing you can do to protect your septic system. A septic tank should be pumped every 2-3 years depending on the amount of water being used in the home. Contact the professionals at Creed Septic System Specialists.

Septic Efficiency Advice

• Do no more than two loads of laundry a day.
  
• Repair all leaking toilets and leaking faucets quickly. 
  
• Do not park or drive vehicles or other large objects over your septic system. This may compact the soil and reduce its ability to treat wastewater.
  
• Avoid planting water-loving shrubs with deep root systems or trees near the filter bed. Roots can damage the pipes or clog the filter system.
  
• Water from sump pumps, roof leaders, yard drains, etc. must be discharged away from the septic system area.
  
• Always wipe cooking oils and grease off plates, pans, and skillets before rinsing / cleaning them in the sink. 
  
• Be familiar with where your septic tank and system is located. A copy of what has been legally installed on your property can be obtained by contacting your local Health Department.
