TIP PUMP YOUR TANK BEFORE THE GROUNDS FROZEN
Although your septic service professional will help you any time of the year with maintenance and emergencies, it’s best to request regular pumping services when the weather is nice and warm. The problem that pros run into during the cold winter months is dealing with frozen ground—and your septic tank is buried underground. Therefore, any attempt to reach the tank will be slowed and made more difficult by ground that is soggy, frozen or covered with snow. Scheduling a tank pumping in warmer weather makes the job a little bit easier.

Septic Safety 101
You shouldn’t allow kitchen scraps to go down your drain. Debris like potato peels, chunks of food, and bones can cause clogs in your pipes and leach field, which can translate into costly septic tank problems down the line. Keep food particles in the trash or compost pile, and only allow water and basic waste down the drain.
