From the team at Septic Medic, we wish you and your loved ones a happy holiday!
This season is all about gathering, making special memories, and enjoying the comfort of home. At Septic Medic, we get how important it is to keep things running smoothly so you can focus on what matters most – especially in rural areas where septic systems are such a big part of daily life.
Tips to Protect Your Septic System During Holiday Gatherings
All the extra guests, meals, and activities can put your septic system to the test. Here are some helpful tips to ensure your system stays in top condition while you enjoy the festivities:
– Be mindful of what goes down the drain – During holiday cooking and baking, avoid pouring grease, fats, or oils down the drain, which can solidify in your pipes and cause clogs.
– Inform your guests – Let your guests know a few simple rules to protect your septic system. We recommend placing helpful signs in the bathrooms and kitchen reminding guests not to flush or drain items other than toilet paper.
– Avoid overloading the system – With more people in your home, spread out multiple water-heavy tasks like running the dishwasher, showers, and laundry. Spacing out these tasks helps prevent your septic system from becoming overwhelmed.
– Schedule a septic system repair or inspection before the holidays – Before the holiday season kicks off, get a professional inspection or schedule a repair if needed. Being proactive ensures everything is in working order and catches potential issues early to avoid costly disruptions during your celebrations.
– Keep the drainfield clear – Make sure guests don’t park on your drainfield, as this can compact the soil and prevent proper draining. Place signs around the drainfield so guests know what areas to avoid.
