Flush Yeast Down The Toilet
Yeast is a natural source of beneficial bacteria that can aid in breaking down organic matter in your septic tank. Periodically flush a small amount of active dry yeast or a yeast-based solution down the toilet to boost bacterial activity.
Flush Baking Soda Down The Toilet
Baking soda is a mild alkali that can help neutralize odors and maintain a healthy pH balance in your septic tank. Flush about half a cup of baking soda down the toilet once a month to promote optimal septic tank function.
Septic Tank Pumping
Another effective way to keep your septic tank clean is to schedule regular septic tank pumping every 3 to 5 years, or as recommended by a professional. This process involves removing the accumulated sludge and solids from the tank, preventing it from overflowing and contaminating the surrounding environment. The frequency of pumping depends on the size of the tank and the household's wastewater output.
Regular Septic Tank Inspection
Schedule regular inspections of your septic tank by a qualified septic company. Inspections allow experts to assess the overall health of the septic system and recommend an appropriate septic tank cleaning routine or septic tank repairs if necessary.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Chemical drain cleaners may seem like a quick fix for clogged drains, but they are known to cause more harm than good. Harsh chemicals, such as bleach, disinfectants, and antibacterial agents, can kill beneficial bacteria in your septic tank and disrupt the natural decomposition process. If your drains are clogged, opt for safer alternatives such as drain snaking or calling a professional plumber.
