Garbage disposals are not recommended for homes with septic systems. The finely ground products will float on the surface of the water and make their way into and clog lines. Consider composting vegetable matter and disposing of animal by-products.
The septic distribution box (aka D-box) connects the effluent line to the network of leach lines in the absorption system, or to seepage galleys or pits, and is used to regulate the rate of flow to the lines.
If you are putting your home on the market, it is always a good idea to have the septic tank pumped before you begin showing the house. Not only does this prevent back up or overflow issues, it is also a good time to check for any problems the system may have.
When a septic tank is not pumped out regularly, there is not enough room for the solids and lighter elements to separate from the effluent, resulting in a contaminated or pipe-clogging discharge.
As important as trees and shrubs are for the environment and for your home’s look, their roots can wreak havoc with septic systems. Before planting, locate the tank and lines. Then consider the species being planted and locate them far enough away from the system so its roots do not invade it.
