At Two Hills Septic Ltd, we recommend having your septic tank inspected every 1 to 3 years and pumped every 3 years. However, the frequency of pumping depends on the tank size, number of people in the household, habits of water use, and the amount of solids accumulated in the tank.
If you experience a septic system backup, stop using water immediately and call Two Hills Septic Ltd for assistance. Continued water use can cause further damage and make repairs more costly.
We do not recommend using additives to improve septic system performance. In fact, some additives can harm the system or contaminate groundwater. Proper maintenance, including regular pumping and avoiding excessive water use, is the best way to keep your septic system working properly.
Proper maintenance includes regular inspections and pumping, avoiding excessive water use, and not flushing anything besides toilet paper and human waste. You should also avoid pouring grease, oil, and other chemicals down the drain, as these can harm the system.
Signs of a failing septic system include slow-draining sinks and toilets, sewage backups, foul odours, and lush green grass over the drain field. If you notice any of these signs, contact Two Hills Septic Ltd for an inspection.
Trees and structures can damage septic systems, so it's important to avoid planting trees or building anything over the system. The roots of trees can infiltrate and clog pipes, while structures can interfere with the system's ability to function properly.
Garbage disposals can increase the amount of solids in the septic tank, leading to more frequent pumping and a higher risk of system failure. To avoid these problems, it's best to avoid using a garbage disposal or limit its use as much as possible.
A drain field is a network of pipes and gravel that disposes of wastewater from the septic tank. The pipes distribute the wastewater into the gravel, where it is filtered and treated by naturally occurring bacteria and other microorganisms in the soil.
Garbage disposals and water softeners can increase the amount of solids and salt in the septic system, respectively, leading to more frequent pumping and a higher risk of system failure. To avoid these problems, it's best to avoid using a garbage disposal or limit its use as much as possible, and to use a water softener sparingly or not at all.
