If you’ve never had a septic system before, there are some mistakes that you might make that can lead to emergency septic services. Below are three common mistakes that may have you calling the emergency septic services number and spending a lot of money.
Waiting Too Long
The first mistake that people make when it comes to their septic system is waiting too long to call an expert. If you don’t have your septic system checked on a regular basis and cleaned out it can lead to huge problems.
Putting the Wrong Things Down the Drain
The second mistake that people make when it comes to their septic system is putting the wrong things down their drains and down the toilet. Things like hair, oil, paper towels, grease, and other things shouldn’t be put down your drain or toilet. Basically, there are only three things that you should put down your toilet – fecal matter, toilet paper, and water (urine).
Not Knowing the Warning Signs
The third mistake that people make when it comes to their septic system is not knowing the warning signs that they have a problem. Gurgling noises, seeing extra green grass in the drain field and unpleasant smells are three signs that you have a problem.
These are three mistakes that you want to avoid making so that you don’t need emergency septic services. Otherwise, you may have a huge mess and a big bill to go with it.
