Septic Tank Maintenance Tips

Properly maintaining your septic tank is the best way to ensure that you won’t have huge cleaning or repair expenses in the future. Lamar A-1 Septic Service Inc  has provided a few tips to help keep your tank in good condition.


  • Don’t agitate the drain field with construction or heavy equipment.
  • Use a bacteria treatment after pumping.
  • Pump every three to five years.
  • Use your garbage disposal sparingly.
  • Refrain from pouring cooking oils down the sink drain.
  • Prevent chemicals such as pesticides, paints and motor oils from getting into your tank.

When using your new septic tank make sure to care for the land around the leach field and regularly inspect your tank using its lids. Never use a garbage disposal with your septic tank, as it can clog up the system. Additionally, avoid driving over the ground that houses the septic tank or placing heavy machinery on your septic tank or drain field.

We are sure these tips will help you maintain your septic tank. However, if you need the services of a reputable company, call us today at 916-991-4747!
