What Septic System Concerns Result in Slow Drains
At American Waste Septic, we have found that some people mistakenly think that when slow drains happen throughout their Duncan, South Carolina home, the only thing that is needed is a septic tank pump-out. The reality is that a variety of septic system concerns can result in slow drains, so it takes a thorough inspection of the septic system to find what might be more than one culprit. If you have slow drains or a slow-draining septic system, here are some of the causes:
- Overuse: When homes are built, the size of the septic system put in follows code regulations based on the average family size for the number of bedrooms. If you have a larger household, frequent guests, or have another situation where you use more water than normal, you could overwhelm the system.
- Infrequent Maintenance: Maintenance involves more than just pumping the tank, and if you don’t keep up with inspections and other tasks, a problem can start small and eventually lead to slow drains and worse problems.
- Use of Antibacterial Products: Your septic system utilizes bacteria to break up waste solids. Frequent use of products that kill bacteria is harmful, resulting in the need for more frequent pumping and potentially damaging the entire septic system.
- Introducing Wrong Items: Believe it or not, even using the wrong toilet paper can plug up a septic system. Just because something says it is safe for septic system use doesn’t mean it really is. When in doubt, ask us!
