Welcome to my site. My name is Jorge. The septic company sent a notice to my home recently about pumping out the tank. After living in my home for a few years, it was time to service the septic tank to keep it in good condition for years afterward. I watched in awe as the septic truck cleared the tank and restored the function of the system. I will use this site to discuss the process of servicing the septic tank. I will also talk about repairs commonly performed on the septic components. I hope you will visit often to learn more.

Taking Care Of A Septic System
Rose Austin
Your septic system is something that you may take for granted until it gets clogged up and you are needing to get it repaired. The truth is that the septic system is an amazing portion of your home, but just like anything else it needs to be taken care of. If your septic system is not taken care of then you could be in a lot of sewage. While there are a lot of different things that you can do to keep your septic system running smooth, here are just a few tips that will really help your septic system.
Flushing
It is going to be very important that you keep a trash can by your toilet. One of the biggest problems that plumbers run into is non-biodegradable things being flushed down the toilet. If something is flushed but does not break down then it can start to block and clog up the septic system. Some of the most common things found in a septic system when it is flushed are; cigarettes, condoms, baby wipes, wrappers, gum, and many other things. Simply keeping a trash can by the toilet can significantly reduce the amount of trash that will be flushed down the toilet.
Careful With Clogs
You are also going to want to be very careful with clogged sinks and drains. Most of the time when a person sees that they have a clog they go for a liquid that powers through the clogged drain. These liquids are extremely harsh and contain many harsh chemicals. The chemicals are actually very bad for your septic system because they can kill the bacteria that live in your septic system. If your septic system does not have those bacteria then it will not be able to break down the waste like it needs to be. So, when needing to fix the drain try a pipe snake or a pipe auger first.
Plumber
There are sometimes when you need to call the plumber, like Linn Septic Service, when you are experiencing trouble. The plumber is going to have a lot of different tools that will give them the ability to solve many plumbing mysteries. One of the most used tools is the tool used for finding kinked or broken pipes. They are able to run a pipe snake down the pipes with a video camera on the end. This allows them to see exactly where the broken or kinked pipe is.
