How to prevent problems in your Septic System
- Have your septic system checked--and the accumulated sludge
pumped--by your local Roto-Rooter company every two or three
years.
- Add Roto-Rooter Septic Tank Treatment to your septic system
to maintain a healthy, free-flowing system. For normal system
maintenance, pour the entire contents of a one-quart container
directly into a toilet bowl and flush. To ensure peak system
performance, repeat this procedure every four to six months,
as well as each time your tank is pumped. For problem systems,
add one quart weekly for eight weeks, followed by monthly treatments.
For best results, do not add disinfectants, laundry bleaches
or caustic or acid drain cleaners to the system for several
days following treatment.
- If problems persist, contact your local Roto-Rooter company
to check the condition of your septic system. Severely clogged
or damaged drain fields may have to be dug up and replaced.
