Great septic info from the US Environmental Protection Agency!
2 reasons to routinely take care of your septic system (from the US Environmental Protection Agency):
Saving money:
A key reason to maintain your septic system is to save money! Failing septic systems are expensive to repair or replace, and poor maintenance is often the culprit. Having your septic system inspected regularly is a bargain when you consider the cost of replacing the entire system.
Your system will need pumping depending on how many people live in the house and the size of the system. An unusable septic system or one in disrepair will lower your property value and could pose a legal liability.
Protecting health and the environment:
Other good reasons for safe treatment of sewage include preventing the spread of infection and disease and protecting water resources. Typical pollutants in household wastewater are nitrogen, phosphorus, and disease causing bacteria and viruses. If a septic system is working properly, it will effectively remove most of these pollutants.

Septic Tip!
Don’t forget your septic tank while completing Spring Cleaning!
Spring Septic Tip!
Spring is rapidly approaching us here in TN! Did you know that whenever a season or the temperature changes it is more common for septic tank problems to arise? Pay attention to your septic tank and if you notice anything such as standing water above it, give us a call right away. Even if you don’t notice anything different, if it’s been more than 3-5 years since your tank was serviced, Spring is a great time to take care of it!

Great read to prepare for next year’s frozen temps. Septic owners are lucky those temperatures rarely stick around long in our climate but this information is good to know just in case.

Not often do we remember to discuss all the things that people do tend to flush down their toilets. Cigarette butts are definitely a big no no!
