Your home’s septic tank is the final destination of water that runs down the drains in your sinks, washing machine, dishwasher, toilets, and baths. Maintaining the proper function of a septic system requires a certain amount of care on the part of the homeowner. On that note, here are five things you should be sure to keep out of your septic tank at all costs:
Bits of food can find their way into your septic tank through the drain in your dishwasher or from your kitchen sink. Unless you have a dishwasher that can grind food waste, make sure that plates are clear of food before they are loaded to be washed.
In addition to food, cooking oil that finds its way down your kitchen sink can cause serious septic system trouble. Paints and oils on clothes are sometimes washed into the system through your washing machine. Keep all residue from paint, oils, or other industrial materials out of your septic system.
When cleaning your home with bleach or other powerful cleaning agent, be sure that you do not let large amounts into your drain. Your septic system depends on a particular balance of bacteria to do its job, and a substance like bleach will disrupt its function.
Because the drain of a toilet is larger then on a sink, people sometimes think it is ok to flush items down it. Never flush anything down your toilet that is not meant to be flushed, including feminine hygiene products, cigarettes, rags, or plastic items.
If you’ve been dealing with a clogged drain yourself, be careful of the amount of drain cleaning chemicals you use. Although these agents can sometimes help to break up hair and other materials blocking the drain, they can damage the health of your septic systems the way that other household cleaning chemicals can.

As a business owner, you know the importance of a well-functioning operation. Just as it’s important to ensure your finances are in order, it’s also crucial to make sure that your septic or sewage system is performing correctly. Here are a few reasons why you should consider routine drain cleaning for your business:
High-Performing System
Drain blockage often depends on the how often the system is used and how much material is processed through the system. Unlike a household, the septic system for a commercial enterprise or business is constantly under high levels of stress. Regularly scheduled drainage can avoid slowed drains or backups and keep your system functioning at peak performance.
Pleasant Working Environment
When drains are not regularly cleaned they can dramatically impact the working environment. Rancid odor is a common problem that occurs when the drains are blocked. This odor can spread through the drain system and make the entire office an unpleasant place to work. Slow toilets and unsightly back-ups also become hassles without regular cleanings. A poorly functioning drain can also create health risks for the employees. Moreover, clogged drains can cause flooding, which can damage a business’ facilities and equipment. Discussing your usage cycle and scheduling routine drain cleaning with sewage professionals will help keep you and your employees happy.
Emergency Prevention
Routine drain cleaning minimizes the risk of a sewer or septic emergency. It’s especially important in this economy to keep your operation open during business hours. An emergency caused by inadequate drain maintenance can shut down business for days, which can be a financial disaster. You can mitigate the risk of an emergency drain cleaning by scheduling routine maintenance.
