Do’s and Don’ts

Where can I find more information on septic systems? 

Purdue’s Home and Environment Site has some good information.

What are some things I can do to prevent septic problems?

• Don’t use a garbage disposal, it adds 50% more solids to your system

• Don’t pour automotive oil, cooking oil or grease down the drain

• Don’t drive vehicles over the septic system or leach field

• Don’t plant bushes or trees over the leach field

• Don’t use phosphorous detergents

• Don’t use too much water, especially during rainy, wet seasons when the ground is saturated

• Don’t pour paint or paint thinner into your sink (let it air dry then throw it out in the trash)

• Don’t use chemical or biological septic systems cleaners which can plug up leach fields and ruin your system

• Don’t wait, if your septic system shows signs of problems, act immediately!

Additional Tips

Where can I find more information on septic systems?

Inspect your tank for signs of sludge buildup and make sure the baffles and tees are in working order
Pump your tank as needed (every 2-3) years for year-round residents, and every 4-5 years for seasonal residences), and keep a written record for yourself or the future owner
Compost food garbage or put it in the trash
Keep grease can handy
Mark your septic system so you can protect it from vehicles and encroaching trees and shrubs
Conserve water; install water-saving devices, such as low flow faucet and showerheads
Use non-toxic cleaning products such as baking soda to clean toilets, or boiling water to help clear clogged drains.
Plant shrubs, trees, and grasses downhill from your system to act as a sponge. It will tie up excess nutrients and water as well as prevent soil erosion.
