Septic Maintenance in Altamonte Springs, Florida

Here are some of the things we recommend to improve the function of your septic system:

  • Have your septic tank pumped and inspected every 3-5 years.
  • Repair any leaking or dripping toilets or faucets right away.
  • Try to conserve water.
  • Spread laundry out over several days instead of doing it all at one time.
  • Add bacteria to your system to aid in breaking down waste.
  • Keep a detailed record of all septic maintenance and repair.

Here are some things to avoid if you want to keep your septic system healthy and functioning:

  • Don’t build anything (including driveways) over any part of your septic system.
  • Don’t drive over any part of your septic system.
  • Don’t come into contact with liquid from your system and never go into your septic tank. Let a professional handle this.
  • Don’t send water softener back-flush into your septic tank.
