Drain...Drain...go away!!

Don't feel bad...a lot of us do it.  You floss your teeth, you look around, make sure no one is looking...then you toss it right in the toilet.  But, before you do that again...READ ON.

The items you put down your drains and toilets can do damage and have a major impact on how your septic system works…actually…it can do a real number on your plumbing as well!

Chemicals and other household items can stress and destroy the delicate balance of the healthy bacteria in your tank.  Healthy bacteria, you might ask?  Yep, you read that right.  There is a healthy colony of necessary bacteria in your tank.  Household chemicals abolish the decomposition treatment taking place in the system and can even contaminate surface waters and groundwater.  Some of the items we use daily, if put down your toilet or sink will get lodged in pipes.  Grease and oil will stick to the lining of the pipes, blocking them and causing backups.  All of this can be quite costly. 

Below is a list of some items you should avoid putting down your drains or flushing down your toilets.

·         Household Chemicals

·         Gasoline, Antifreeze, etc.

·         Pesticides

·         Paint

·         Grease/Oil

·         Feminine Hygiene products

·         Cat Litter

·         Paper towels/Cotton Swabs

·         Cigarette Butts

·         Coffee Grounds

·         Clorox Wipes

·         BABY WIPES (even the flushable Wet Clothes)

At this point, I'm sure you're wondering how you can restore and maintain the beneficial bacteria and enzymes or clear your pipes of these items.  Well, you're in luck!
