Contrary to myth and misunderstandin g, the purpose of a septic system is not to dispose of waste materials. Its purpose is to treat contaminated water before it reenters the water system. If a system malfunctions, it cannot perform the job for which it was designed.
Septic tanks have at least two chambers that work in unison to separate sewage from effluent before sending it to a leach field. If you notice an odor coming from the leach field, there is a problem somewhere in the system.
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.
Be careful using anti-bacterial soaps and detergents in your daily routines. Their chemical makeup destroys the bacteria in your septic system that helps to breakdown waste materials. Using regular soap and rubbing thoroughly will do the trick and not inhibit the septic system.
For added protection to your drain field, as well as providing peace of mind, your septic system may benefit by installing a filter to the outlet tee in order to reduce the amount of suspended solids leaving the tank.
