Taking care of your system by performing preventative maintenance can help prevent costly issues from taking you by surprise. Caring for your tank is not difficult and with a few simple steps you can avoid an emergency septic situation.

Chico Septic suggests:

• Pump your tank - Don’t wait until you are having a problem! Routine pumping can prevent sewage from backing up into your home. Keep in mind; if you use a garbage disposal the amount of solids entering the tank will require more frequent pumping. Pumping every 3-5 years is recommended with normal use. More use will equal more frequent pumping.
• Never flush harmful materials into your tank - Grease, cooking oil, newspaper, paper towels, coffee grounds, feminine products, “flushable” wipes; cannot decompose in the tank. Chemicals such as pesticides and solvents are harmful to your system.
• Landscape your system appropriately - do not place water resistant materials over your leach field or tank. Keep roots from trees and large shrubs at least 10 feet from the tank and leach lines. Materials such as concrete or plastic can reduce the supply of air to the soil for proper seepage- grass is always the best coverage for your system.
• Know where your tank is - be sure to keep both sides of your lids easily accessible at all times for regular maintenance, pumping and allowing your technician to easily be able to diagnose your issues.
• Evaluate your system regularly - check the leach fields and downslope areas for odors, wet spots, or surfacing sewage.
