Care and maintenance of your septic system is not difficult if you follow these simple guidelines.

Not following these simple steps can cost you thousands of dollars over time.

Never put the following items down the toilet, sink drain or disposal and into the septic tank:

Diapers

Paper Towels

Baby or Antiseptic Wipes

Feminine products

Cigarette Butts

Kitty Litter

Coffee Grounds

Motor Oil

Paints and Thinners

Grease & Oil from food

The list of things you shouldn’t put into your septic system is pretty extensive. The list of things that should go in your septic system is much shorter: septic-safe toilet paper, human waste, and limited amounts of phosphate-free detergents used in laundry and your dishwasher. The better you care for your septic system, the less septic maintenance you will need.
