Summer Care For Your Septic System
During the summer months, the last thing folks think about is septic care. However, an increase in activity during this time of year could be putting a strain on your septic tank system. Additional laundry, houseguests, and the rainy season are typical activities during the summer. Without proper septic care, you could be faced with non-flushing toilets, sewage backups or a stinking, saturated backyard. The following tips can help you avoid septic tank problems and reduce or eliminate costly service calls and repairs.
One reason a septic system could fail is lack of regular maintenance. Although opinions vary when you should have your septic pumped, it is commonly agreed by professional plumbers that you should have your tank pumped and inspected every three years
Anyone who deals with harsh winters and has a septic tank should know that when temperatures dip, conditions can lead to a frozen septic tank. According to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the frost line can be up to 100 inches deep in northern Minnesota. Depending on the depth of septic pipes and depth of frost, your septic pipes, tank, or soil treatment system can freeze. Although most septic systems are buried deep enough underground to avoid freezing, there are elements of a septic system that can freeze.
