LaChance Brothers Excavating Discuss Simple Solutions to Ensure Your Septic System Remains Healthy

NORTHVILLE, Mich. - Sept. 16, 2024 - PRLog -- Rain can wreak havoc on your septic tank and lead to costly consequences. To safeguard your home and property, it's important to understand the risks and to be proactive, including:

1. Monitor water usage: Be mindful of water usage during heavy rainfall. You should limit how much water you add to the system by reducing laundry, long showers or running your dishwasher.
2. Schedule routine maintenance: Septic maintenance includes inspecting your entire system every 1-3 years and pumping the tank every 2-3 years. The frequency for pumping your septic tank depends on the tank size, number of people in your household, the water habits and use, if a garbage disposal is used, and the number of solids accumulated in the tank.
3. Manage rainfall: Install gutters and downspouts to direct rainwater away from your drainfield. You can also install a rain barrel that will catch excess rain and reduce the risk for flooding.
