FAQ Section
Q: What is the single best way to maintain my septic system?
A: The best thing you can do for your septic system is schedule regular pumping and inspections (recommended every 2–3 years) and conserve water where possible. Limiting excess water use helps prevent overloading the system.
Q: Do those septic system additives or chemicals really work?
A: We do not recommend the use of any septic additives or chemical products. Your septic tank already contains natural bacteria designed to break down waste. Adding chemicals can disrupt this natural balance, potentially causing sludge buildup and harming the drain field. The only true and proven maintenance method is regular, professional service.
Q: What should I avoid putting down my drains and toilets?
A: You should avoid flushing anything that doesn’t easily dissolve, including flushable wipes, feminine products, paper towels, and dental floss. Also avoid pouring grease, harsh chemicals, excessive amounts of bleach, or coffee grounds down your drains, as these can disrupt the necessary bacteria and cause clogs.
Q: How does sewer line jetting work, and why might I need it?
A: Sewer line jetting uses highly pressurized water to thoroughly clean the inside of your pipes. You might need this if you have frequent clogs, slow drains, or if roots have invaded your lines. It’s also the primary solution we use to safely thaw and clear frozen lines during the winter months.
