With millions of Americans rushing around to prepare for the Christmas season, it can be easy to overlook some of the systems at our own homes. Not many people think twice about having all the in-laws over for the holidays, cooking up big meals, etc., but extra people and usage will mean increased stress and strain on your toilets, showers, and other water resources, putting a strain on your septic system this season. Is your system able to withstand this extra usage? Perhaps. The team at Custom Septic in Minnesota want you to be as prepared as you can, to avoid any catastrophic events with septic or sewage this season!

The design of septic systems means that the wastewater stays on the property and as such, you don’t only have to worry about supply lines freezing, but the drain lines freezing. Because digging underground during the frozen weather is more labor intensive, the septic professionals at Custom Septic offer some advice for being proactive this season.
