Any Raleigh plumber will assure you that septic systems can last a lifetime with the proper care. Here are some maintenance tips below:
- Keep trees and brush at least 100 feet away from the drain field to ensure proper flow and functionality
- Use a root destroyer on a yearly basis to prevent roots from interfering with your septic system
- Get your septic tank pumped every two years to remove any buildup of grease and/ or other dense matter that could prevent the drain field from draining well
Other beneficial recommendations would be to utilize low flow aerators in your faucets, low flow toilets, low flow shower heads and a water saver washer, which in general, lessen water usage. Using less water will most definitely have a positive impact on your septic system and will help prolong its life as well.
